Director Dibakar Banerjee’s film Tees was screened at the Dharamshala International Film Festival this year. Recently he talked about the film in an interview. Dibakar said that Netflix had refused to release his film, due to which he had become very depressed. This had an impact on his personal life also. According to Dibakar, now he is looking for distributors for the film, but till now he has not found anyone.
In a conversation with Moneycontrol, Dibakar Banerjee was asked how he felt when Netflix stopped the release of the film Tees. He said, ‘When Netflix refused to release my film Tees, I became very irritable. Not only was I depressed, but I was also very angry. This affected my real life also. Both my daughters used to say, ‘Papa, you are always angry.’ After this I started therapy and then I got cured.
Dibakar said, ‘When the film Tees was being made, Netflix itself helped us in it. There was no major problem from his side. But yes, there was some debate regarding casting and some changes in the film. However, that matter was also resolved. But then suddenly the entire team at Netflix changed, and as often happens in corporate, all the decisions of the previous team are either changed or postponed.
Dibakar said, I have not given up and now I find fighting fun. Unless I consider myself crazy and blind, I will not be able to see that I am a part of society. My job is just to make the film for less money and then leave.
The film Tees has stars like Manisha Koirala, Divya Dutta, Naseeruddin Shah, Huma Qureshi, Shashank Arora, Zoya Hussain.
