Metro...In Dino actor Pranay Pachauri: OTT is more of an actor's medium; films feel more star-driven
Pranay Singh Pachauri Pranay Singh Pachauri, who has previously been seen in projects like The Kerala Story, Andhera, Very Parivarik (Seasons 1 and 2), and Chhal Kapat – The Deception, is now on the big screen with his latest film, Metro… In Dino, directed by Anurag Basu . In the anthology, he plays Rohan, a man who has always been in love with his college friend Jhinuk. 'But she married his best friend, who is no more. Since Rohan and Jhinuk have feelings for each other, they are caught in an awkward situation. It leaves them in a moral dilemma — whether to love or not,' he explains. For a character that complex, Pachauri believes a director with vision and sensitivity is key. Recalling the moment he was cast in the film, he shares, 'I went to meet Anurag (Basu) Da after he saw my audition. I was extremely nervous, thinking he wanted to re-audition me. I entered the office, and Anurag Da sat me down, looked at me for a minute, then suddenly laughed and said, 'Balle Balle, you're doing the film'. I was ecstatic and also confused, but he's such a warm and kind person. I feel lucky to have worked with him.' Pranay with director Anurag Basu Having worked across both OTT and film formats, he reflects on the creative differences between the two. 'OTT allows for more immersive storytelling and characters that stay with the audience. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Providers are furious: Internet access without a subscription!

These days, larger-than-life or action-heavy films seem to draw audiences for that cinematic experience,' he says. He adds, 'In my experience, OTT feels more creatively liberating. I've had the chance to play different characters across shows, which has helped me grow both as an actor and a person. Films still tend to be more star-driven, whereas OTT has become more of an actor's medium — and that's something I find exciting and challenging.'

Mahir Pandhi: I've been rejected for positive roles because of my coloured eyes
Mahir Pandhi Although Mahir Pandhi has explored a range of characters in recent years, his early days in the industry were marked by typecasting. Currently seen in Siddharth Kumar Tewary's Veer Hanuman – Bolo Bajrang Bali Ki Jai, the actor reveals that his distinct features, particularly his green eyes, led to repeated rejections for positive roles early on. He recalls, 'When I first came to Mumbai, people would take one look at my eyes and face and say I should be cast as a terrorist or criminal. I've been offered selective types of roles, mostly negative — the toxic guy, the one running a prostitution racket, or other shady characters. I've almost always been rejected for the hero's role because of how I look. Choti Sarrdaarni was a rare exception, and I'm thankful the makers saw me differently.' Determined to break the mould, Mahir actively sought out roles that would challenge him and push the boundaries. He says, 'As you grow in the industry, you begin to crave characters that push you creatively. The real concern isn't just being typecast, but the fear of being boxed in and denied the chance to explore diverse roles. Thankfully, I've crossed that phase. When I look at something like Jee Karda, in which I played a gay character and had intimate scenes with both genders, I feel proud of the choices I've made. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like These Are The Most Beautiful Women In The World Undo From the entirely negative role in Vanshaj to doing a rom-com for the Thai industry, I've been trying to expand my range.' He also touches upon the limited creative agency actors often have on set. 'Unless you're a big name, you're expected to simply follow the script. The moment you express a point of view, the label 'difficult' or 'attitude problem' is thrown around. That's why I've become very selective about the projects I take on and the teams I associate with,' he concludes.

Prosenjit Chatterjee: Actors today are not chasing stardom alone; they're chasing variety
Prosenjit Chatterjee (BCCL/Tejas Kudtarkar) Prosenjit Chatterjee , fondly known as Bumba da, has long been a pillar of Bengali cinema, balancing commercial hits with bold, unconventional roles. Now, with over 350 films behind him, he's looking beyond boundaries — embracing new languages, younger teams, and stories on a national scale. In this candid chat with Bombay Times, the veteran actor reflects on reinvention, letting go of the comfort of stardom and learning from the next generation. 'Now I want to act in films that have a national scale' Prosenjit recently impressed the audience in Khakee: The Bengal Chapter and is ready to broaden his horizons. He says, 'I have always embraced challenges; there was a period when I was doing six to eight shifts a day, with 17 to 18 releases a year. My highest was 26, a world record, I later learnt from a fan club. We never kept track back in the day.' Today, he remains as eager as ever for new roles. He shares, 'I tell my directors to bring me something that is out of the box. Now I want to act in films that have a national scale.' 'It's hard for a commercial actor to let go of seetees and taalis' Letting go of the larger‑than‑life image built through commercial cinema was not easy. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo He says, 'The most difficult part for an actor who has found success in commercial films is letting go of the seetees and taalis. You may be willing to give up a lot, but not that curtain call. When a villain walks in and approaches the heroine, the crowd expects the hero to storm in and save her, and they love that moment. So, I had to consciously shed that baggage and recondition my thinking,' he says. He adds, 'I experimented constantly because I believed that in ten years the language of cinema would change — and I wanted to evolve too. I'm not in a race, which is why I'm branching out into Punjabi and Marathi cinema.' Prosenjit Chatterjee (BCCL/Tejas Kudtarkar) 'The Bengali industry depended on me for two decades' Ask him why he didn't make the shift earlier beyond Bengali films, and he replies, 'Back then, the Bengali industry depended on me; it was not just about hits, but also a responsibility toward producers, directors and technicians. If I went on a 20‑day outdoor trip, I would get calls saying 'Dada, aap nahi hain to chhe-chhe shifts nahi ho rahe hain'. So, I stayed.' He continues, 'Being number one in any industry is not easy. If I had come to Mumbai and ended up as number ten, I would have felt I was letting down my Bengali audience who believe I'm their number one.' 'Nawaz was the first to break the typical Indian-hero mould' Prosenjit, who has been a part of OTT shows like Jubilee and Scoop, is deeply inspired by the new generation. He says, 'So many of them deliver great performances, not just in Hindi, but across all industries. I wonder, 'Yeh log kaise acting kar rahe hain!' That drives me to keep evolving. Acting has changed and cinema has changed. You either say, 'Main aap logon ka pitaji hoon, main ghar par rahoonga', or you work with younger teams and learn new things. I choose the latter.' He especially praises Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Rajkummar Rao. 'Nawaz was the first to break the typical Indian-hero mould; he changed the game. And now there are many such actors. Rajkummar, too. The actors today are not chasing stardom alone; they are chasing variety,' he notes.
