“It was possible because of the support of our subscribers and the quality content that we try to put up on the platform. I would like to thank all our content creators and the entire FNP Media team for their hard work and dedication. The encouragement of our lovely fans has gotten us closer to the Golden Play Button and we see it as a stepping stone of a very long journey ahead,” he says.

Since FNP is targeting a niche audience with exclusive content in the short film format, there are many things that the organization is planning to do in future.

“Our first and foremost focus has always been content. Quality content is crucial to the success of any such platform. Our aspiration is to become a platform that offers varied genres of good content to viewers, leaving the viewer hungry for more. We have a great variety of things in the pipeline. As far as films are concerned we have recently wrapped up the shoot of Blind Love 2.0. The overwhelming response that we received around the first part of Blind Love led us to produce the second part of the film. We are hoping to release it soon,” he reveals.

On the possibility of making full-fledged features or web series for the viewers, Vikaas says that FNP Media is a content company and production house which is at a very budding stage.

“We hope to set foot first in this category before plunging into something else. Though there is a lot happening, we would like to be slow and steady and focus on our core at the moment. As far as web series are concerned, yes, we are planning to, but since our focus is on short format storytelling we are currently exploring quick series or mini-series. We might do a full-fledged web series later. As I said, we have a lot on the cards and would like to take it slow as of now,” he adds.

Sharing his opinion about the OTT trends that he has observed, Vikas says, “OTT as an industry has grown double-fold in the last few years and is growing by leaps and bounds. While there are a lot of trends that are booming, we have noticed and researched the type of content that is being consumed by viewers, as it stands very relevant to us. If you see the current trend, every major OTT has picked up a few genres which work for them and gives them great viewership and they try to focus on building content around that. So yes, we can say the viewers are getting smarter and focused on consuming the content.”

Simmi adds,”I feel both these films are disruptive, far-reaching & necessary subject of our times. According to Gleeden, India’s 1st extramarital dating app nearly 48 % mom’s have a secret life (Extra marital affair). Research also says, 55% of couples have cheated on their spouses atleast 1 time in their life span. This film reflects the liberation from the dual nature of our society. It showcases the complexity that has crept into our relationships. It depicts the superficial world we live in. I must say, I have experienced the saddest generation posting happy pictures on social media. Whereas Almariyaan deals with the social stigma. Few sections of society still do not approve of it. They operate as a separate entity under democracy. This film portrays the arduous journey of a protagonist who has the same dreams, aspirations & goals to lead a happy life as any other human.”

Vikas Gutgutia says,” June is celebrated all over the world as Pride month. It’s a tribute and to draw attention to the issues that members of the community still face. The exploration of one’s identity is central to the coming-of-age experience, whether it be religious, sexual, political, or personal. There is ambiguity in this exploration and queer cinema celebrates this ambiguity. Cinema, in its reflection of people, helps to unpack some of the complexities faced by many. In honor of Pride Month, we at FNP Media have a special theme for this month, “अब-normal” (Now-Normal). The thought behind this is to aim and make the movement more gender-inclusive and gain more acceptance. Over time we have realized that this genre is quickly increasing in popularity, it seeks to educate the clueless, normalize the queer experience, and extend empathy to those desperate to know that they are not alone.”

“As the pandemic continues to keep us restricted to our homes, viewership of such platforms is soaring like never before. FNP Media is gaining acceptance among viewers in the country, the hard work and dedication of the entire team is paying off. At FNP Media we see ourselves catapulting into the next phase of growth. Digital will play a critical role in fuelling this growth and we want to ensure that we have a strong offering and presence in the space. We’ve invested a lot of time and energy in creating and acquiring good content and will continue to do so,” he says.

Sharing about why they thought of having a theme every month, he adds, “We wanted to try something new. There’s an audience for every kind of genre, we are trying to reach out to them all. For this month we have ‘Thriller’ as a theme. The thriller genre is the most sought-after by the Indian audience. It has been my personal favourite too… We will be releasing two special thriller flicks this month. The idea is also to make the audience look forward to a new theme every month and give them the films they would love to watch. FNP Media plans to present content-driven movies in various genres, custom-made for our audience.”

Thriller is a broad genre and definitely has its own set of audience, shares Vikaas. This fast-paced format that is filled with twists and turns, mystery, drama etc keeps everyone on the edge of their seats. “Binge-watching thrillers is a good time pass. They act as an exercise for the mind when it runs to guess what would happen next, confusing subplots keep your mind in the want for more. The twists and turns of the thriller keep our adrenaline flowing and activate a part of our brains that is normally not stimulated. This summer has kicked off with plenty of thrillers for our audience. We’re confident that the stories and characters will be appreciated by all those who love the genre,” he adds.

The forthcoming thriller Red Shirt will stream on FNP media on 11th June and Saath Tareekh on 25th June. So, what’s stopping you from pressing the play button to watch some exciting content?
