Bollywood director Shekhar Kapur
"Theatres are not going to open for at least a year. So all hype around the first weeks business of 100+ crores is dead. So the theatrical Star System is dead. Stars will have to go to existing OTT platforms or stream films themselves through their own apps. Technology is quite simple," he wrote on Twitter.

It clearly applies to all the movie industries and not just Bollywood. Even in Tollywood, we have people who boast their collections. But with these changing trends, we have to see how the star heroes cope up.
For sure, the OTT platforms are going to take a big advantage out of this.
