Naveen Kasturia says 'OTT has become factory-like'
India, Aug. 11 -- From his humble beginnings on Pitchers to now leading a web series, Naveen Kasturia has come a long way. While he got to do an action-heavy role in his latest project, he shares that has was once dissuaded from doing so. "I hadn't thought about it in a long time. In fact, somebody told me, 'You will never look good doing action'. After becoming an actor, I never thought of such parts. It came to me as a surprise, and I'm very happy," the actor shares.
The 40-year-old says that the parts he was offered for years were more brains than brawn. "I think the way my career was going, the roles I was offered were different. I was never thinking in this direction. That's the kind of perception I have created," he notes.
One of the first stars to get his break on OTT, he joined the cast of Pitchers in 2015 when major streaming platforms were just emerging and web series were mostly on YouTube. Today, as half a dozen big platforms produce 10-12 titles a month, Naveen says, "It has become factory-like." He adds, "A lot of people are creating and telling stories. It's bound to happen - when you create a lot of stuff, a lot of it will be average. That's true for everything, whether it is films or TV, or OTT. Good stories are still hard to find."
The actor goes on to explain, "In today's times, sometimes because of the clutter, good stories also get lost. That is also happening. So, it's very important to promote properly, and for people to be aware of what's coming out. We say if it's a good story, it will always work. But kabhi kabhi, it gets lost."...
