Besides
his film Hate Story 4, actor Karan Wahi has many other projects in his kitty.
The actor will soon be seen in the Netflix Originals’ ‘Sacred Games’ and also has
some hosting gigs. “There are a lot of things that I’m doing. I’ll be back in
India on 11th November and from the 13th I’ll start my TV outings again. I am
hosting two shows – one probably in November-December and the other probably in
February-March or later. It’s fun to try
different things. I’m also doing another web-based venture. So there are a lot
of things happening – for Star and Colors. And, of course, ‘Hate Story 4’
releases on 2nd March so from January the promos will be out. Hopefully everything
falls in place,” he says.
The
actor adds, “For ‘Sacred Games’, it is a small part I have been signed for.
I’ve been signed for all the seasons so I will be there constantly on the show.
I couldn’t shoot for it because I’ve come here to London for ‘Hate Story 4’.
It’s been raining there so the shoot’s been delayed a little. Once I’m back
I’ll start shooting for it. I think it’ll probably come out in January or
February.”
The
actor adds that the web has helped a lot of people get work. “We have TV and we
have films. I mean, anyone who goes to Mumbai to be an actor never says they
want to be a TV actor (laughs). They all want to be the next Shah Rukh Khan.
So, there are a lot of people who used to be very anti-TV because of the
regressive nature of it. So we’ve squeezed this other thing in the middle of TV
and films which is called web. So if you now go to Indian ask anyone in
Lokhandwala what they’re doing, they’ll say they’re doing a web series. What
they don’t realise is that web-series doesn’t mean cool. Abusing content is not
cool. What is cool is that on the web you can put in content which is not
allowed on TV. You can say things which will look realistic enough but you
can’t do on TV,” he says.
In
fact, besides ‘Sacred Games’, Karan has done other work in this domain as well.
“Before I signed ‘Sacred Games’, I had already shot for a very big web show
with Hungama, produced by Mr Kumar Mangat. It’s called ‘Barcode’. I think it’s
releasing in December. That’s when I realised that if I want to make web
content or be in someone else’s, it better be good content because otherwise
why am I going to the web? For actors, the web doesn’t have much money. They’d
rather put money in the production then to put into the actors right now,
especially in India, because the web culture has only just started. I don’t
think Netflix has realised that India is a very big market,” he says.
