Nawazuddin Siddiqui To Part Ways With Digital Platforms!

Mumbai, October 29 - Actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui, who made his name in the digital space, has decided to part ways with OTT platforms. The Sacred Games actor feels that OTTs have become a "dumping ground for redundant shows" which is killing talent.

"We either have shows that don’t deserve to be seen in the first place. Or sequels to shows that have nothing more to say", Nawazuddin said.



"When I did Sacred Games for Netflix, there was an excitement and challenge around the digital medium. New talent was being given a chance Now that freshness is gone. It's become Dhanda (racket) for big production houses and actors who are now so-called stars on the OTT platform".

"Major film producers in Bollywood have cut lucrative deals with all the big players in the OTT field. Producers get whopping amounts to create unlimited content. The quantity has killed quality", the actor added. He finds OTT shows unbearable now. "When I can't bear to watch them how can I bear to be in them?".

Nawazuddin Siddiqui, meanwhile, has plenty of projects in the pipeline. He is currently filming for Heropanti 2, Adbhut while Jogira Sara Ra Ra, Sangeen, and No Land's Man are in the post-production stage. He was last seen in a Netflix film titled "Serious Men", for which he won International Emmy Award for Best Actor.
