Actor Amit Sadh is bidding adieu to the year by wrapping up his stint as Kabir Sawant in the Breathe universe, with no indication of a fourth season in the pipeline at the moment. But, while he might be ready to move on from the series, his fans are holding on to the hope of seeing more of Kabir through a spin-off — and Sadh is not shrugging off their hope.

“It is really flattering. I hope this noise reaches important people so that my producer and they (the makers) also think the same. I will break an arm and leg to have a spin-off of Kabir Sawant. I am still not done with the character. I have given it my all in these seven years,” says Sadh, who took the small screen route to enter showbiz, and is most fondly remembered for playing Aditya in the teen TV show, Kyun Hota Hai Pyarrr.

When it comes to the digital space, the 39-year-old has had quite a ride with back-to-back releases, including films such as Shakuntala Devi and Yaara, and web series such as Avrodh: The Siege Within, Jeet Ki Zid, Saat Kadam and Duranga. Having observed the web scene closely, he credits it for blurring the lines and opening doors on many levels.

“OTT has allowed filmmakers to tell all kinds of movies, which could not get green-lit in Bollywood earlier. More creative people are getting to work and tell stories in different formats. Earlier, there were, say, 20 [big] actors in India. I used to get hurt listening to all the A-list, B-list, C-list stuff. I am glad OTT has removed all of this,” Sadh asserts.

But, as the web space gains prominence, there is a general sentiment of fear that the chase for quantity may compromise quality of content. To this, the actor says that the audience is smart enough to gauge when a show or film has been rushed. “Filmmaking is time-consuming. You can’t shy away from it, and if you do, it will show. The audience is very smart. Aisa nahin hai ki OTT pe log kuch bhi dekh lete hain. There are many projects in the OTT space, when they are not good, they are not watched. So, if it is not good, it is not going to work.”

Right now, Sadh is busy with the second season of Duranga. “After wrapping it up, I will shift my focus a bit on films,” reveals the actor, who has projects such as Sukhee and Pune Highway lined up. Explaining his decision, he says, “It just so happened that I have been offered a few films that I like... I would like to see if the audiences come out to watch my movie or not. It’s a big step. Main bahut mehnat kar raha hun that my project comes to the theatre. That’s my new challenge, let’s see what happens... Pehle theatre pe ayengi films and phir OTT pe.. I will be on both the screens.”
