A 'Netflix' spokesperson confirmed that the streaming giant, which is still trying to establish a foothold in India after six years of operations, is going to release three titles produced by 'Clean Slate Filmz' in the coming months. 'Prime Video' did not comment. Sharma also declined to provide a full list of titles until they are officially announced.

He told 'Bloomberg' that 'Clean Slate' would be releasing at least eight titles on 'Netflix' and 'Prime Video' in the next year-and-a-half.
