If you weren’t shooting routinely, you’re simply sitting at home. Presently, one doesn’t need to do that.
Ruslaan Mumtaz, who has worked in movies, TV, and the web, says that the advanced medium gives a necessary centre ground for entertainers.
OTT stages have given a new rent of life to the professions of numerous entertainers, and for Ruslaan Mumtaz, the medium has unquestionably come as a shelter. The entertainer noticed how there’s such a lot of work currently because of the web that one doesn’t need to trust that movies will occur.
“There’s a ton of content, and that implies that entertainers can continue working. Prior, one was doing a film, and if you weren’t shooting consistently, you’re simply sitting at home. Presently, one doesn’t need to do that,” he shares.
The 39-year-old, who has worked in movies, TV, and the web, also feels that the advanced medium gives a truly necessary centre ground for entertainers.
“If you do TV, you’re regularly working during the year. Thus, I think OTT breaks that. In these last few years, I’ve been doing a great deal of web series and movies, which gave me a pause. I could deal with one undertaking, then, at that point, continue to the following one. On TV, you’re only one person and are stuck in it for quite a long time,” clarifies Mumtaz, who began his acting vocation with the film MP3: Mera Pehla Pyaar in 2007.
Particularly in the pandemic, the OTT stages have ended up being a serious gift. The entertainer, who has done ventures like Namaste Wahala and Oye Mamu, among others, concedes having been the most active he has at any point been in his vocation notwithstanding the pandemic.
“At the point when this pandemic began, I truly believed that my work was done, and I didn’t have a clue when I’d land my next position. Yet, in these two years, I’ve been more occupied than I was two years before the pandemic. It’s simply my karma. Presently I pause for a moment and take a gander at my vocation, and I have faith in fate, which I never did in the pandemic. I used to feel that you get what you merit, and if you buckle down, you’ll get great work,” he muses.
What’s more, not simply OTT work, other computerized work, including music recordings, have likewise kept Mumtaz occupied. “Other than films, I went somewhere in the range of seven music recordings simply last month. So there is a wide range of various work that is there for us, and in case you’re available to take them, you’ll get sufficient work,” he finishes up.
