Chandni Soni : OTT has opened the doors of umpteen opportunities!
Producer Chandni Soni, who has recently worked on the film LAC, says that she had an amazing time on the project. Chandni, who has produced the series Raktanchal before, says that production is challenging as well as a great learning experience. “Producing good content can be quite challenging. Especially because of Covid and the lockdown, our projects got delayed. Finding a good script which resonates with the audience is another challenge,” she says.
Talking about why and how she decided to get into production, Chandni says, “I have always been a creative person since childhood. I used to take part in various extra-curricular activities back then. Then, I went on to professionally learn Kathak. After marriage, my husband, Neeraj Soni encouraged me to continue my creative journey which translated into becoming a producer and creating good content for the audience.”
The producer is a big fan of OTT platforms and says that the web has a bright future. “OTT has opened the doors of umpteen opportunities. Especially during the lockdown, people discovered OTT in a big way. As a producer, I think OTT gives me the opportunity to reach a wider audience and create content which is out of the box,” she says.
Talking about future plans, Chandni says, “Indian culture is very rich. I think we have not yet properly explored Indian mythological stories. I’d love to do some great work in this genre.”
