He told Bollywood Hungama, “The platform has become a dumping ground for redundant shows. 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. 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. Quantity has killed quality.”
He confirmed that he will not be signing up anymore OTT shows and added, “When I can’t bear to watch them how can I bear to be in them?”
Meanwhile, among several other projects, Nawaz is set to star in Tiku and Sheru which is backed by Kanagana Ranaut’s production house Manikarnika Films and will release on digital directly. It is is being touted as a dark comedy.
