Actor Madhoo says she has moved on from the age-old thought process of being a heroine on film sets and embraced her role as a collaborator in the process of filmmaking. Known for hit 1990s films such as "Roja", "Phool Aur Kaante", "Yodha" and "Gentleman", the actor recently starred in the ZEE5 series "Fireflies: Parth Aur Jugnu" and "Sweet Kaaram Coffee", a Prime Video show. This is an amazing time to be an actor, said Madhoo, who will next be seen in psychological thriller film "Kartam Bhugtam".
"Back in the day, I was a part of a culture where it was like `I`m the hero, I`m the heroine`. But now, it doesn`t feel like that... "I have moved on from that thought process and that`s something the (OTT) content has done for me. It feels like I`m an actor on the movie set... You just feel that we are all collaborative and making one story..." she told PTI. The 55-year-old actor said, unlike the `90s, she no longer cares about being typecast in a certain role as she believes it`s difficult to be stereotyped in the era of content boom. "I used to think I would be typecast. But now I don`t care because there is so much content. So, how many times will you cast me as a mother or grandmother of one type? Back in the day, when actors played the role of a mother, it used to be a (big deal) thing.
