He credits the revenue share from online streaming services for helping sustain his career after his first film. While acknowledging that some movies may find success on OTT that they couldn't achieve in theaters, Jagannatha emphasizes the unique experience of watching films on the big screen.

He also discusses the challenges new filmmakers face in bringing their visions to life, emphasizing the need for various elements to align and the iterative nature of the creative process.
