We have all read stories where people have made a mark in different fields later in life. Accomplished actor Boman Irani is happy to do an OTT debut at the age of 62 with Disney+ Hotstar’s psychological thriller ‘Masoom’. The actor had a wonderful time shooting for the series with the entire crew and also shared his experience of shooting for a movie and shooting for an OTT series in his own words.
Boman Irani talks about his part in Masoom, “In essence it is a debut and it’s nice to do a debut at 62 years of age of any kind. But this one was a bit of a challenge because of the format. We were shooting a story that will play over a span of 6 episodes, keeping in mind one continues to work as an actor. However while developing a character, I don’t see any difference, whether you are playing one in a cinema or in a web series, because he is a character, breathing, walking, happy/unhappy that needs to be developed through his travails, problems.”
He further shares, “I have to say though that there is one advantage while playing a character on the OTT platform and that is you have, as an actor, a lot more time to spread your wings and develop a character to the fullest and give it a complete arc. Sometimes in cinema, in an hour or 45 minutes, you have to complete that arc much faster and maybe a few things do get left out. The opportunity is wonderful and I would like to believe that I grabbed it with both hands.”
