Rajshri Deshpande is not too happy with the idea of only celebrating stars in the OTT space, like films. Though the actor admits that the lines between commercial and art-house cinema have blurred, she adds, “I understand that OTT platforms need to bring in stars to the streaming space. But I also feel that we should celebrate cinema that just has great content, storytelling and acting.”
The 40-year-old, known for her acts in projects such as Sacred Games and Trial by Fire, adds, “I think a film shouldn’t just be about the star factor; the script should be the star. In fact, the celebration of good content is lesser even on OTT now. I feel the poster should feature someone who has delivered an incredible performance and not just the star associated with a project. It could even feature a director who has done a brilliant job.”
Deshpande, whose film Privacy was recently selected for an international film festival, feels it’s unfair to judge a project on the basis of its social media traction: “Let’s not judge cinema based on how many likes or shares it has got. I hope we manage to blur that line.”
