Rana Daggubati, who collaborated with the OTT platform for his web series Rana Naidu, spoke about the launch of a world-famous VFX studio, which will now take up the production to upcoming releases on the OTT channel to next level. He stated that, “About 20 years ago, there were very few opportunities like this in Hyderabad, and Ted Sarandos was just starting to connect with the industry at that time. Today, seeing people like Jeff Shapiro come to Hyderabad and speak about this place as the next future hub of creativity shows how far Hyderabad has progressed. For this, I must first thank the audiences who kept pushing filmmakers to go beyond boundaries and constantly ask for bigger and newer cinema. The filmmakers and producers out of Hyderabad kept pushing the bar higher.”
