Shweta Basu Prasad talks about OTT platforms:
The actress was talked about how OTT platforms have changed the times. She said, “OTT has given work to actors like me.” She also added that she has never been this busy in her life. In addition, she appreciated how web projects are giving respect to writers. She was quoted as, “This is common for every actor like me who are getting good roles. Web projects give respect to writers who then create characters that can shine, so content has become king and due to that actors like me are getting really substantial roles. Had it not been for OTT projects, I’d be doing character roles in films or lead in a TV show. Before The Tashkent Files (2019), I didn’t get good enough roles but now I am.”
