We are witnessing a huge pool of content being thrown at us, regularly, in the form of films, TV shows, webseries. Out of all these, webseries are starting show their affect on other mediums too.
People get more options to choose from with content on OTT platforms. They can just subscribe to anyone or every available platform and watch shows at their leisure relaxing on their easy chairs or sleeping on their couches, beds.
Netflix, the global leader of all OTT platforms, coined "Netflix and Chill", keeping all this in mind. The phrase caught up and India is starting to get used to making OTT platforms as their preferred means of entertainment, these days.
Platforms like Ullu, ALT Balaji exploded with R-rated adult content while Netflix, Amazon Prime and few others are trying to win hearts by mixing everything.
But can these shows produce stars? Give new actors careers and opportunities elsewhere? Exclusively, OTT show, Stranger Things, made young kids like Millie Bobby Brown, Finn Wolfhard big stars, globally. But is that possible in India where TV was seen as place for worn-outs, less fortune actors and newbies, who really couldn't act because of the size of the screen.
Can even lesser size screen produce a big star? It can. Kiara Advani is proving so. She is not an established name like Radhika Apte before Netflix boom in India and Apte absolutely helped Netflix to gain some traction.
When Indian makers started trying different things, Kiara Advani made entire nation notice her specially with Lust Stories. Her bold act became so popular that her bid to stardom which was to be achieved by doing successful big budget South films like Bharat Ane Nenu took an overnight diversion.
In one year, she got more Hindi film offers than ever and Kabir Singh, made her a successful Hindi lead actress. But is that enough? Kiara struck back at those who thought she is another pretty face, by showing her talent in Guilty, new Hindi Netflix show, with her performance.
She will be an inspiration for all the young actors thinking OTT platforms can only give attention to those who perform in nude or almost nude sex scenes, that they can also try to find a great script to make them stars!
