WAVES 2025: Ektaa Kapoor On Global Storytelling, ‘People Don't See Language As Barrier'
Last Updated: Ektaa Kapoor talked about the Indian film industry's growing global presence, and explained that language is no barrier when it comes to storytelling and content. During a recent appearance at WAVES 2025, Emmy Winning Indian Producer Ektaa R Kapoor shared compelling insight into the evolving landscape of global storytelling, especially with Indian drama and serial formats capturing the attention of viewers worldwide. When asked how she views global storytelling given her success in building content enterprises across television and digital platforms, Kapoor said that she feels storytelling must have a strong connect. Ektaa Kapoor emphasized that audiences around the world are embracing content from various cultures and in multiple languages, be it Korean, Turkish, American, Spanish, or European. 'Global platforms and networks have proved that people do not take language as a barrier. They enjoy the content because of the dubs, because they enjoy the story," she said, adding that the notion of language as a barrier is no longer relevant in today's content ecosystem. Drawing attention to India's rich storytelling heritage, Kapoor asserted, 'We have the highest or the longest legacy of stories. And it is a currency – it has been a currency." She acknowledged the logistical challenges that have historically slowed the global expansion of Indian content but expressed optimism that the tide is turning. 'We're now reaching there," she said, referencing the Indian film industry's successful global outreach. However, she underlined the need to move beyond ethnic narratives. 'Now it has to be non-ethnic storytelling, I think. We are at a tipping point." Meanwhile, Ektaa Kapoor is currently is gearing up for her next production venture 'VVAN – Force of the Forrest', a folk thriller starring Sidharth Malhotra and Tamannaah Bhatia. On Wednesday, the makers of the film released a new teaser of the film, and wrote, 'Rooted in Indian mythology and mysticism, VVAN – Force of the Forrest unfolds a tale straight from the pages of history and folklore. Delighted to welcome @tamannaahspeaks to this powerful narrative — a force in her own right, ready to command the screen like never before." First Published:
