Anurag Kashwap, a popular Bollywood director, is backing a blockchain-powered video-on-demand platform, myNK that aims to bring international art to Indians. The platform aims to bring international independent films that do not get a wide theatrical release to Indian movie lovers. Kashwap is known for popular films like Gangs of Wassepur and Black Friday

According to the report, Kashwap stated that, the blockchain technology could help him solve the Indian distribution conundrum. He claimed the technology could bring transparency and solve several other problems that movie makers in the country face. He added that the platform is so transparent that one can trace who is watching the film and where it is being watched.

Currently, the beta version of the blockchain-based platform is out. Kashwap also talked about the potential completion of streaming giant such as Amazon and Netflix.

The Bollywood director believes that Indian movie lovers are being deprived of international cinema that has a wide audience in the country. Kashwap claims myNK aims to solve that problem. The platform was launched through India and Singapore-based MinersInc.
