Mumbai, Oct 24 Actor Abhishek Duhan, who is known for his work in projects like ‘Sultan’, ‘Patakha’, 'Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga’, shared though the OTT platforms are flourishing these days, he enjoys seeing himself on the 70 mm screen.
Abhishek will be next seen in ‘Mandali’ which is directed by Rakesh Chaturvedi Om.
Talking about the OTT and cinema, Abhishek said: “There's no denying it. Serials were made, and now series are being made, and who knows what will be made in the future. But my love for cinema will always remain. I enjoy seeing myself on the 70 mm screen.”
“The thrill of watching yourself on a 70mm screen is something else. However, on OTT platforms, I appreciate the opportunity to explore characters in more depth. Directors also get the chance to elaborate on their stories. The time you get to play, to perform, and to delve deeper into your craft is an interesting factor,” he said.
He shared: “But, in my opinion, it's quite rare to find truly outstanding work on OTT platforms. I'm eagerly waiting for someone to give me a really great opportunity, but so far, no one has. I would love to take on something different and challenging.”
The actor further talked about the school of acting he is a part of, inspiration and more.
“I look up to all the great actors, directors, and the entire world of cinema itself. There's no single person I can name as my favourite. It could be my acting school. In the beginning, I worked with the theatre group ‘Ekjute’, for about two and a half years, alongside Nadira Babbar ji. I learned a lot there,” said Abhishek.
He said: “Darpan Mishra ji was also an amazing teacher. Apart from that, whether it's Nana Patekar, Shah Rukh Khan, KK Menon Ji (I really admire him), or the beloved Irrfan Khan, I think everyone has their unique appeal. Ajay Devgan and Akshay Kumar are among my favourites. Govinda is one of my all-time favourite actors, and there are so many more like Mehmood Sahab, Amitabh Bachchan, and the list goes on.”
‘Mandali’ is a political-drama film which stars Rajniesh Duggall, Brijendra Kala, Aanchal Munjal, Abhishek in prominent roles. Produced by Prashant Kumar Gupta, Geetika Gupta and Neetu Sabarwal, it will hit theatres on October 27.
