‘OTT will only rise’

Actor Neeraj Kabi strongly believes that OTT has a very bright future ahead.

“OTT will only rise and become better. The content is very fabulous. So many new actors and directors are being seen on OTT. A different kind of filmmaking is happening here,” Neeraj said.

The Sacred Games actor acted in his first web series Samvidhaan in 2014 on Rajya Sabha TV, where he played the role of Mahatma Gandhi. The actor ventured into the web series when it was a naive concept. He went on to play pivotal roles in series like The Final Call, Taj Mahal 1989, and Pataal Lok to name a few.

He added, “The structure of web series is so different, including the writing and screenplay. So many new writers are coming forward. There is a distracted audience for an OTT show. The makers know very well how to keep the audience's attention going. And that I think is the high point and the hallmark of OTT.”    

Freddy is in the making

Kartik Aaryan is all set to star in the upcoming movie Freddy directed by Shashanka Ghosh. The actor says he is looking forward to bringing the romantic thriller to life.

Kartik said: “As an actor, I crave to explore different facades of entertainment and with Freddy, I'm venturing into an uncharted territory which is both exciting and intriguing in equal measures. I look forward to dwell in the world of Freddy and bring alive this dark romantic thriller.”

The 30-year-old actor says the film marks his first collaboration with a visionary like Ekta Kapoor and creative forces like Jayu and Shahshanka.

He added: “Couldn't have asked for a better team on this new journey.”

The film goes on floors on August 1 in Mumbai.
