Abu Dhabi is witnessing a new trend during the IIFA 2022 weekend as for the first time ever, the fraternity is promoting OTT web series 'Suzhal: The Vortex', during the IIFA awards. Earlier IIFA solely promoted cinema content throughout their operations, but now they've decided to add promoting long-format shows. This is an ode to the rise of OTT platforms in the entertainment industry, whose growth is accredited to the pandemic. This recognition of the OTT platforms shows how cinema supports series and vice-versa.
