There’s a fair bit about Bollywood that bothers TV actor Sahil Salathia, but he loves acting and his audience with a passion
The small screen is now the new big screen. Is that good news for actors in terms of opportunities and challenges?
Content is always king for me. Be it any medium, the quality of storytelling is what any actor must always focus on. I agreed to do P.O.W. Bandi Yuddh Ke and Everest for the small screen because of the filmmakers. Nikkhil Advani and Ashutosh Gowariker are living legends when it comes to the art of storytelling. Now, with platforms like Netflix, Amazon Prime and so many others coming to India, there is more quality work for everybody. It brings more opportunities, but unfortunately there is a challenge here already. The only content we seem to be creating at the moment are dark stories based out of India’s towns and villages, most of them peppered with cuss words and abusive language. Suddenly, everybody seems to be consumed with domestic violence; throw in a little bit of sex, and you think you’ll get all the eyeballs. I hope we start creating quality content, irrespective of the platform, soon. I did Hasmukh on Netflix recently, and it was fun. I am waiting for more path-breaking stories and characters to come alive!
After Panipat, what projects have you been working on?
I was to begin filming for a web show in April but, thanks to the pandemic, it has been delayed now. It’s a part I am stoked about, but can’t reveal much about it before an official announcement.
Does modelling help you prepare for a film role?
