MUMBAI : In a series of tweets, filmmaker Hansal Mehta expressed his thoughts on his film 'Shahid' not being streamed on any OTT platform.

"Sad that #Shahid is not on any OTT platform. I have no idea who owns the rights to the film anymore and where it’s original version even is. It is a personal tragedy for me and for all those who toiled to make this film against all odds. It is a tragedy for Shahid Azmi," he wrote.

The Rajkummar Rao film was critically acclaimed and won a National Award. "Premiered at #TIFF2012, won two national awards, won numerous other awards, traveled the world and is rated 8.2 on IMDb. But NO TAKERS?," Hansal added. The actor's performace was much appreciated.

Have a look.
