You won’t believe what Randeep Hooda just said about the early days of Indian streaming! We’re talking unfiltered truth here. He’s making a big return to the screen with `Inspector Avinash season 2`.
But before that, he’s reflecting on how much things have changed. He totally sees a transformation in the world of Indian web series. A big one!
Remember those early days? Hooda thinks it was all about shock value. Not good writing. He even mentioned how ‘people abuse on screen and it was catchy’ back then. It had a raw, almost gritty visual aesthetic. Dark. Intense. The vibe was definitely more about pushing boundaries than crafting deep plots.
Now? He feels it’s different. There’s a real shift happening. More focus on actual stories. On thoughtful scripts. It’s like the visual palette is getting richer, more nuanced, moving beyond just simple shock. We love to see this kind of growth!
It’s super interesting to hear this from an actor returning to the OTT space. Especially with `Inspector Avinash season 2` on the horizon. Makes you wonder what kind of tales he’s excited to bring us now, right?
Speaking of actors making big moves, Jyotika and Sonakshi Sinha are building buzz for their new project too! And just like how the streaming world evolves, actors’ views on their past work change. Saif Ali Khan once shared some wild behind-the-scenes thoughts on ‘Main Khiladi Tu Anari’.
Our Take
We totally get what Randeep Hooda is saying. Early OTT was a wild ride, for sure. Sometimes, it felt like shock for shock’s sake. The immediate grab for attention was powerful. But seeing the change? That’s what we love about stories.
They grow. They get better. It’s exciting to think about what ‘good writing’ on OTT will look like next. We’re here for it! Bring on the amazing scripts and compelling visuals.
