The Bollywood director Anurag Kashyap, who is known for films like Gangs of Wasseypur and Black Friday, is backing a blockchain startup. The platform aims to bring international independent movies to Indian customers that do not get a wide theatrical release. The Indian government is also on board with the technology as the blockchain jobs in the country are rising.
“Blockchain can solve Indian distribution conundrum.”
According to the Screendaily report, Anurag Kashyap said that blockchain technology could help him solve the Indian distribution conundrum. He added that technology could bring transparency and solve lots of other problems that filmmakers in India face. He said that the platform is so transparent that you can find out who is watching the film and where.
