Bollywood star Shahid Kapoor, who is set to make his digital debut with a series by The Family Man creators Raj Nidimoru and Krishna DK, says he wanted to challenge himself as an actor with his foray in streaming.
Dubbed as a quirky crime drama series, the show is created and written by Nidimoru and DK for Prime Video. It is co-written by Sita R Menon, Suman Kumar and Hussain Dalal.
"The choice to go on to the OTT platform was to break the trend, was to do something different and challenge myself. I have been doing this for almost 20 years, I need to feel challenged and excited," the actor said.
"If I am not doing something new, I will get bored of it and then the audience will get bored too. I always feel the need to bring out little change, so that it is fresh. So, this (show) was an opportunity to do that," he added.
The 41-year-old actor said an artiste one must strive to deliver a refreshing tale on OTT platforms as viewers are already exposed to varied content.
