Nawazuddin Siddiqui has voiced his dissatisfaction with streaming providers that have been releasing episodes that fall short of the level set by the first few online series. The actor has once again pointed out that the quality of material on OTT platforms is diminishing.
Siddiqui told First post recently that “there was an enthusiasm and challenge around the digital media” when he appeared in the first Indian original web program on Netflix, Sacred Games. “New talent was being given an opportunity, but that freshness is gone,” he continued.
Big film producers are going into “lucrative partnerships” with the main OTT companies, according to the actor, who has received awards for his roles in Netflix’s Sacred Games and Serious Men. “Quality has been murdered by quantity,” he argued. Siddiqui also feared that the same star system that devastated the big film would eventually devastate the digital media. “Now we have so-called celebrities on OTT requesting large sums of money and screaming tantrums like Bollywood A-listers,” he remarked. They overlook the fact that content is king.”
On the job front, Nawazuddin Siddiqui will next be featured in Tiku Weds Sheru, Kangana Ranaut’s first production. The actor recently invited Kangana Ranaut and Avneet Kaur, the film’s female protagonist, to his new Mumbai residence. The mansion took three years to build, with the structure being inspired by his old village home. Nawazuddin even became the house’s interior designer and renamed it Nawab in honor of his father.
