As the entertainment industry comes under the radar of second wave of Covid-19 crisis, with many shoots stalled and actors indisposed, one is left wondering if the web space would take prominence again like last year and more content would be pushed on OTT platforms. Actor Sumeet Vyas feels even if that happens, as actors, one should be mindful of quality over quantity.

“That is more of the battle and an internal one. There is a lot of stuff being made on the web, so there are more opportunities to work. It’s very tempting that you can do something and then move on to something else. There is variety, and you want to do it all,” he continues, “Now, it is about how do you take breathing space and how you don’t get insecure that it is okay to let some work go by.”

Vyas, who has majorly dabbled with the OTT space with projects such as Permanent Roommates, Tripling, The Verdict and Dark 7 White, admits that even he is fighting the same battle. “The idea is to just breathe, take the time off and not burn yourself out. A lot of people say that I got famous very late in the day, but that was never the goal. I’m not here to work for a few years and go back somewhere. I am here to stay for a long time,” adds the 37-year-old.

With films getting postponed again and the possibility of some opting for a digital route would mean that actors working primarily on OTT would be again competing with Bollywood stars. But, Vyas is not worried about it. “It is not that the shows or movies with stars have [always] done well. It’s quite the opposite, as most shows which have done well have been those which had absolutely no movie stars in them. The so-called A-listers... I don’t know what that means anymore. I don’t think that has borne any fruit, so I don’t see that as a problem,” he concludes.
