In 2020, actor Arjun Mathur bagged an International Emmy Awards nomination for his performance in the web series, Made In Heaven. Having worked in a British series Indian Summers in 2016, he tells us that he is ready to work in the West. “My aim has always been to tell stories to a global audience, and whatever takes me there, I’m okay with it. I have an inclination towards Hollywood. I have a manager in Los Angeles and I had an agent in London, too,” he says, quipping, “I want to be in a Marvel movie!”

Talking about being on the right path, Mathur remarks, “I think the trajectory is already laid out. So, if I carry on with the path I’m on, it will take me wherever I’ve to get.”

Over the years, the 40-year-old actor has been seen in many independent films, including I Am (2010), Fireflies (2012) and Coffee Bloom (2014). Though there was a time when makers struggled to increase the reach of their indie projects, he believes that OTT platforms have changed the situation, marginally.

“I’ve watched that struggle. I’ve seen how the makers had to compete with big films and struggle to get show timings, which would be taken off within a week. For a while, the digital influx did make the struggle disappear, but there’s an all-new struggle emerging there too,” Mathur shares.
