Buddha in a Traffic Jam premieres on Spuul
MUMBAI: Spuul brings Vivek Agnihotri’s ‘Buddha In A Traffic Jam’ to its catalogue of films. This movie will be available across devices like web, mobile (iOS, Android), Amazon Fire TV, Android TV & Apple TV along with Airplay on iOS, and Chromecast on Android. The film is available to all of Spuul’s premium subscribers across the world.
Buddha in a Traffic Jam is one of the most controversial films of the year, released just a month back in May, with protests against the movie in many parts of India for alleged propaganda. The film depicts various themes ranging from corruption in the country to campus politics, moral policing, crony socialism and the fight against injustice. It stars Arunoday Singh, Anupam Kher, Pallavi Joshi and Mahie Gill.
Speaking on this development Spuul Global CEO Subin Subaiah said, “We’re happy to bring a film like ‘Buddha In A Traffic Jam’ to our viewers. Our platform has always strived to provide shelf space to bold filmmakers to reach their audiences. This is just a step further in bringing fresh content to our 12 million viewers.
Commenting on this association, Vivek Agnihotri, Director, Buddha in A Traffic Jam, said, “Spuul is one of the oldest video streaming services today, and we’re happy to be associated with them for the internet premiere of Buddha In A Traffic Jam. It is a story that needed to be told, and we hope this association with Spuul helps us spread the word far and wide.”
