In times where doubt prevails about theatres surviving amidst the onslaught of OTT, what does Chopra feel? “I think that both, the big screen and OTT, are incredible to have! We’re living in an incredible time where we can access entertainment in every way possible, 24/7,” says the 42-year-old.

Praising the “big screen experience”, she continues, “I think it will always be special. There’s nothing quite like entering a darkened theatre and watching a movie, not just with friends and family, but by a room full of strangers, all connected by the viewing experience. The big screen’s scale, sound, and immersive atmosphere add to make it a special experience. I don’t think the magic of movie theatres will ever fade.”

Chopra, who also co-produced the recent Marathi film Paani, also looks at it from a technical point of view, “The advancements in technology ensures that the cinematic experience is only getting better. From 3D to IMAX, and now immersive audio, there is continued innovation in the theatre experience and that will keep bringing people back.”
