Kamal Haasan urges Tamil Nadu to launch state OTT platform
Actor-politician Kamal Haasan has proposed to Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay the launch of a state-run OTT streaming platform for Tamil films. The proposal also includes providing subsidies for the Tamil film industry and initiating an anti-piracy crackdown.
Key Takeaways
- Kamal Haasan pitched a state-run OTT platform for Tamil films to Tamil Nadu Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay.
- The proposal includes subsidies for the Tamil film industry.
- Haasan also called for an anti-piracy crackdown.
- The article identifies the event as a regulatory action tied to video streaming and delivery platforms.

The specific signal to watch is whether Tamil Nadu moves beyond the pitch to any formal announcement on a state-run OTT platform, subsidies, or piracy enforcement measures.
