In a matter of years, streaming media platforms have revolutionised the way millions of people consume content and entertain themselves. While the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic has brought Bollywood to a complete halt, OTT players like Netflix and Amazon Prime Video are enjoying record success, witnessing an unprecedented growth in their viewership and subscription base.
Over a period of two years, we have seen several Bollywood bigwigs descending on some or the other digital platform, using them as a new vehicle of their creative expression. As the boundaries blur, a lot of actors are expected to join the bandwagon sooner or later. The latest we hear that Shahid Kapoor is also in talks for his digital debut.
Reportedly, Raj Nidimoru and Krishna DK, who tasted huge success with The Family Man on Amazon Prime Video, had offered Shahid Kapoor a high-profile digital project before the lockdown. The actor was quite keen on signing it on the dotted line and plunge into the digital world but it seems the lockdown got in the way. The conversation is expected to re-commence once the industry gains normalcy.
Last seen in Kabir Singh (2019), which went on to emerge as one of the highest-grossing films of all-times, Shahid Kapoor next stars in a sports drama, titled Jersey. The movie is an official remake of the superhit Telugu film of the same name, starring Nani in the lead role. Gowtam Tinnanuri, who helmed the original, is calling the shots for the remake as well. Kapoor pairs opposite Mrinal Thakur in the film.
Jersey is expected to hit the marquee next year in 2021.
