Actor Abhay Deol recently made his digital debut with Netflix Original film Chopsticks, directed by Sachin Yardi.
Following a pretty sporadic career graph in the business, Deol is now being vocal about the “formula” of Bollywood films and why the web space is an opportunity to be explored as it’s “Godsent.”
Talking about content on digital platforms, the actor asserted that the formula is “about diversity, being proactive, original.” He further added,
It saves a lot of people and will also throw in diversity in our own [Bollywood] industry. Something that we desperately need or else we will continue making the three films we have been making for the past 70 years.”
The Dev D also shared his two cents on the evolving needs and vision of the Indian audience that is done with “larger than life stories” in Hindi films.
“It’s because people are watching actors performing roles that are heroic but you believe them as they look like you, act like you and act real… Now, suddenly they are spoiled as they are like, ‘Okay, I want to watch that in films now’… The larger-than-life candy-floss is far too diabetic for me. That’s what I think is happening,” he added.
The 43-year-old actor was last seen in a cameo role in Zero and as a lead in Nanu Ki Jaanu (2018). His latest film opposite actress Mithila Palkar, Chopsticks is now streaming on Netflix.
