Hyder Kazmi launches OTT platform Mastani for international films

Filmmaker Hyder Kazmi, whose 2017 film Jihad won international acclaim but stirred up controversy in Bollywood, has now launched his own OTT platform named Mastani, where he will be releasing his films.

Talking about the new digital streamer, Kazmi says, "Mastani, would be a great platform for meaningful and progressive cinema. Here, people can enjoy movies with their families. Not only Hindi films but also movies from Iran, Turkey and Hollywood are going to be launched on my OTT platform in Hindi. We will provide our audience with the best films from around the world."

Further on his goal for the OTT platform, the filmmaker says, "My goal is to entertain the audience with fresh content. Because of COVID, the only option for entertainment is OTT platforms, as going to theatres is not possible at the moment."

Kazmi is currently working on Bandit Shakuntala and Chuhiya, and is also involved in a few international projects.  

His first film Jihad, which won 45 awards, will be released through the OTT platform along with his upcoming big-budget web series The Red Land, which has Abhimanyu Singh, Govind Namdev and Flora Saini.
