Like every year, this competition was fierce when it came to choosing the winners for the Filmfare OTT Awards 2023. The Best Actor, Series (Male): Drama went to Suvinder Vicky (Kohrra). His nominees in the category were Anil Kapoor for The Night Manager, Shahid Kapoor for Farzi, Jim Sarbh for Rocket Boys Season 2, to name a few. No wonder he got emotional during his speech.
