He acted in two OTT projects this year — Gulmohar and Scam 2003 - The Telgi Story — and now, Talat Aziz is looking forward to his Bollywood outing. The musician-actor plays actor Hrithik Roshan’s father in Fighter. “Working on the film was a great experience. It was great that Hrithik, director Siddharth Anand and I were on the same page. As Hrithik’s dad, I have some really nice and warm scenes with him. Deepika Padukone (actor) also features in those scenes. I am sure people will love the father-son chemistry between me and Hrithik,” says Aziz.

The singer has been getting a lot of acting offers lately and he is making sure he strikes a balance between music and his acting stints. “I select acting offers that suit my sensibilities and I can do justice to. I’ve received quite a few acting offers. In fact, I turned down some of them lately because of my other commitments. For instance, I am going for a concert tour to the USA next month, so I had to let go of a nice role as the dates clashed,” says Aziz, who is certain that he’d never take on a role “which involves nudity, coarse language or anything to do with sexual overtones”.

While that’s something quite prevalent in the OTT space, the 66-year-old says the web medium has been a blessing for artistes. “OTT gives a lot of freedom to the makers. But things work only if the script, the actors and the production value are of a certain standard,” says Aziz, as he goes on to talk about his dream role. “I would love to get a central role fitting my personality, where music is an integral part of the theme,” he ends.
