Two of India’s greatest forms of entertainment – cricket and Bollywood movies – are undergoing disruption that enables both to serve wider audiences and cater to different tastes, former national captain and fast bowler Kapil Dev said on Friday.

Opening the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne alongside director Kabir Khan, whose movie about India’s first World Cup victory by the team Dev led in 1983 is part of the festival, the all-rounder pointed to similarities between the growth of streaming services and the profusion of new codes of cricket.
