For actors today, OTT is the new cinema and Indraneil Sengupta feels the times are extremely promising for anyone who is talented and is open to change. Indraneil recently had two major releases ‘Aranyak’ on Netflix and’ Human’ on Disney Hostar both have gone on to become massive hits.
About 'Aranyak' Indraneil says that he feels blessed that his
first major OTT show was on Netflix. It was a wonderful experience to share
screen space with Raveena Tandon. About Raveena, he says, "The best thing
about her is that she is a lovely human being. She has no air of seniority or
stardom and is a very hardworking ok set. Director Vinay Waikul was very clear
about what he wanted and would push his actors to give their best for every
shot. And the result is there for everyone to see as Aranyak has been landed
for the performances of the entire cast."
“Human” is currently the no. 1 show across all the platforms and
most importantly Indraneil’s character Neil has been liked by one and all and
he is absolutely thrilled about it. "I have got calls and messages from
people I haven’t been in touch with for 10-12 days" and that tells me the
appreciation is genuine! Again in ‘Human’, he was surrounded by some great
actors like Shefali Shah, Kriti Kulhari, Ram Kapoor, Vishal Jethwa, and Asif.
These are the ones he shot with, but Human has many other powerful actors who
have contributed to the massive success of the show.
"I try to understand my director's vision and try to do my
best to fit into that, I listen to my director, add a bit of my own
understanding and feed off other actors. So it always helps to observe someone
like Shefali and Kirti understand their approach and their process and just
react to them," says Indraneil
In 'Human' the two directors, Vipul Shah and Moziz Singh were
very particular about the performances and went to great lengths to extract the
required performances from the actors. Indraneil shot 90% of his scenes with
Moziz and he feels Moziz helped him get into the character and gave a mature
performance as Neil, which was a very layered character in spite of being
devoid of any histrionics.
