OTT is going to open a lot of new doors for me: Sonakshi

The year 2023 has begun on a ‘roaring’ note for Sonakshi Sinha, for the actor will make her web foray this year with the OTT series Dahaad.

The actor made her big screen debut with Dabangg in 2010, and 13 years later, she is trying her hand at a new medium. Is she nervous? Pat comes the response: “I just want to do good work, no matter where it is.”

“I took up Dahaad before Covid happened. During the pandemic, there was a huge OTT boom. Everybody was consuming content at home. Look at what it has done for so many people’s careers. There is so much good work for everyone — actors, directors and producers. A lot of wonderful projects are happening. OTT is going to open a lot of new doors for me,” adds the actor, who was last seen in Double XL.

Was doing Dahaad a no-brainer, then? “When Zoya (Akhtar) and Reema (Kagti, makers of the show) narrated the script, I didn’t think it was going to be on OTT at all. It was just a role in a project. I was very prompt in saying yes,” says the 35-year-old.

As for the present year, Sinha has her hands full. “I have a couple of projects up for release — Kakuda, Nikita And The Book Of Darkness, which is directed by my brother. I am currently shooting for Heeramandi,” she shares.
