Savi Thakur opines that bold content in a weak script won’t work
Actor Savi Thakur is crystal clear with the kind of content he wants to take up. While a lot of actors are okay with compromising their demand to be in vogue, he is not one of them. The actor has yet to jump on the OTT platforms bandwagon but feels he will only do it, if it feels right.
“I haven’t worked on a digital platform yet to be very honest I have not tried that much for it. I got an offer once but didn’t find it suitable for me. But if something interesting comes my way, which can add value to my craft, then I would really like to take it up,” he says and goes on to add, “For me it is very important that the story is strong. Everything else is secondary. This is why when you think of class apart digital content, you can only think of Sacred Games. That is why storyline is important, otherwise many movies, shows and series come and go.”
Savi, who will be seen as Agastya in hit show ‘Guddan – Tumse Na Ho Payega’, is also well aware of the bold content that has become a trademark of the web world. However, he feels, skin show can help any show only so much. “The content is bold in some of the series, but I think people love bold content too and it might help in selling a show but if the storyline is weak your show will not work,” he says. Is he willing to do bold scenes in future? “That is the one thing I feel I am not comfortable in and I have never thought about giving bold scenes. Having said that, as an actor you have to do justice to every character you play so let’s see what happens in the future but yes can’t go for extra bold content,” he shares.
