Suniel Shetty will be soon making his debut on the OTT platforms and has reportedly signed two projects.
Both the projects signed by him are actioners and the actor is poised to foray into digital entertainment.
A source tells Midday “He will headline a cop-underworld saga that is high on stunts; the other show is a thriller drama. The projects apparently lined up for Disney+Hotstar and Netflix, are expected to go on floors soon.”
Suniel Shetty says that he has been thinking about joining digital entertainment for a long time now. He says “In the past, I was offered many web series that I turned down. But now, I have given my nod to two shows. Both are backed by top production houses, and I am waiting for them to make the announcement.”
When asked why did the actor wait for so long to enter the digital world, he says “I wanted to make sure that the platforms are right. I was clear that I want to play the lead, and the script has to be powerful. I enjoy the genre of action; stories of armed forces and underworld appeal to me. In fact, I have noticed that dark content works on the web. I loved Breathe: Into The Shadows, Special Ops and Paatal Lok. Some Indian series are far better than the international ones.”
