A new feature film on the life of Bahujan Samaj Party founder Kanshiram was recently released on several YouTube channels simultaneously. In less than 48 hours, the movie has been watched by more than 2 lakh viewers. Shambhu Kumar Singh, editor of National Dastak, one of the channels where the movie was released, hopes that the number of viewers on his channel will cross the 1 million-mark (or 10 lakh) in two weeks.
The producer and director of the film, The Great Leader Kanshiram, is Arjun Singh, a 25-year-old college dropout. He borrowed money from friends and relatives to fund the project, one of whom filed a case against him after his cheque bounced. Made with a small budget of Rs 45 lakh, almost all the actors in the movie are first-timers and some are active in local theatre. There was no money to promote the movie, and as the sole distributor Arjun Singh managed to release the movie on just 20 screens. The film flopped miserably. So, he released the movie on YouTube to at least generate revenue and repay the loan.
