The Covid-19 pandemic, which has caused major Indian movie releases being postponed indefinitely, provides an opportunity for Malaysian film producers to release their movies to a larger-scale audience for the upcoming Deepavali festival on Nov 14.

Lotus Group Founder and chief executive officer Tan Sri R Doraisingam Pillai said the indefinite postponement can be a "blessing in disguise" for local film producers to produce more quality films for the festive season as there will be no stiff competition from major Indian movies.
