Monica Shergill further said that from The Great Indian Kapil Sharma Show to all the high-budget drama series on Netflix, they have to think about what new they are bringing in for the audience. While talking about South Cinema she said, “We keep an eye on the best films there as well and research for interesting data. Last month Maharaja which is a Tamil film achieved good success, but not much. It is the Netflix effect that this film has proved itself to be a winner on OTT.”

Monica further said, “Indian originals include Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar, The Railway Man, Maamla Legal Hai, and Amar Singh Chamkila. Sector 36 and The Great Indian Kapil Show are currently in the top 10 in the demand and graph of the audience. She said that the most important and special thing is that they are focusing on regional stories, which is the reason for our growth in India. We have been trying for the last several years and have now gained momentum. People will choose their choice according to the entertainment we provide and we will also grow.”
