MUMBAI: Success of original Netflix films like ‘Lust Stories,’ ‘Love Per Square Feet’ and ‘Chopsticks,’ along with audiences’ hunger for films in India, has made Netflix accelerate plans to invest heavily in Indian movies, a top company executive said.

The video streaming service, which announced 10 new original films last month from India, has already released nine titles and has 13 films in the different stages of production. In terms of web series, it has released six and has five more in production.
