Celebrated filmmakers Shekhar Kapur, Kabir Khan, Neeraj Pandey and Venkat Prabhu, who will make their digital debut on Hotstar Specials, are looking forward to exploring the medium to tell extensive stories across different formats, genres and languages and reach out to a wide audience. Hotstar Specials is the new label launched by OTT player Hotstar and aims at bringing stories in seven languages including Hindi, Marathi, Bengali, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam.

Neeraj said the story he has worked upon was on his mind for a while. "But I knew I wouldn't be able to do justice to it in a feature length. It's a massively mounted narrative that merits the longer series format. A formidable cast and crew are coming together on this one," the Baby director said.

Venkat is confident that the scope of genres that the platform offers will be too immense and will allure all age groups. "I have always had a distinct perspective on content. It should be enjoyable and at the same time quirkily engrossing," he added.
