In an exclusive interview with News18 Showsha, the Fan actress talked about breaking away from the OTT image, women representation in OTT space, her learnings from 2022, her endless wishlist of film-makers and actors that she wants to work with and more. Read on:
You tend to do a lot more OTT content compared to mainstream movies? Is that a conscious choice from your end or is it that the whole OTT ecosystem titillates you more as an actor?
My priority is always the story. So If I like the script of the story, the second thing is what is the medium. Is it a film? Is it a series? Is it a short film? Because to be honest, today if it’s a film or a series that is not as important as the content. When you have so much content out there for me it’s very important to be a part of something that I feel can stand out, that people are going to watch. So I am actively doing more film work because I also want to balance that. But very naturally the scripts I got in the OTT space just gave me much more to do. I am shooting a film with Emmay Entertainment in Bhopal. It’s not been announced so I can’t tell much about it. And I also shot for another film called Ishq-e-Nadaan. So I am also doing more film-work because what I don’t want for sure is to people just box me into that category of an actor who is only doing OTT. So for me the whole point is to explore versatility. So no it’s not a conscious decision.
