It’s time for female actors to be known for what they are and what they can offer,” Manoj said.
“This is something that only they were looking for but we as male counterparts were also looking for a situation like this where everybody is getting what they deserve,” he said.
Asked about young actors having a spot on OTT channels, Sayani said, “OTT has really changed the game. With how Bollywood worked, you only get a certain kind of stories green lit but what OTT did was break that mould. So, now you’re looking at talent and you have a huge pool to choose from. I feel there couldn’t be a better time to be a part of the industry.”
“I think the stories that are now being told are very diverse. All my releases this year were completely different from each other. OTT is a very democratic platform and today, there is a viewership for everything, and every kind of content is being viewed.”, adds Shweta Basu Prasad
“When you’re watching a series over a three-season arc, you would want to watch an actor who would invest in a character more than somebody who has 8 pack abs. Come to think of it, Cinema started with short films,” Shweta said of the variety that OTT channels now offer to viewers. The stars opened up about the industry in an upcoming episode of “Royal Stag Barrel Select Large Short Films”. The show airs on Zee Cafe in India.
