Zohaeb Farooqui says, ‘If the script demands it then he doesn’t have any problem doing it on-screen!
#ZohaebFarooqui is all set to make his acting debut with web series “#InspectorAvinash”. The young actor, who will play the role of a college student in the show, shared that the OTT platform is character-based.
“OTT is a relatively new platform to Indian audiences. So sooner or later every actor will get its due. I guess if the show is hit then everyone in the show is a star in its own right,” he said.
“I always believe that OTT is all about characters and as an actor every actor loves to play a character therefore every actor wants to do something on the platform. It’s fresh, the content is good, and plus you get to reach the heart of the people just with the touch of an app,” he added.
He shared that his favourite web series are “Mirzapur” and “Breaking Bad”, and confessed that it’s not just the entertainment industry that has exposed the audience to abuses, drugs, etc. “I don’t think it’s solely the entertainment industry that has exposed everyone to everything. The Internet nowadays is everywhere. There are other platforms also that bring light to all these things. So everything is quite transparent to everyone,” he said.
And when it comes to bold scenes, Zohaeb said if the script demands it then he doesn’t have any problem doing it on-screen, but, he added, “Everything should be showcased in a very aesthetic and appropriate manner. It shouldn’t be like ‘oh god! What the hell is going on?'”
