Nawazuddin Siddiqui hopes that the audience, who was exposed to quality cinema and shows on OTT platforms during the pandemic, reject formula films. He was seen in Ghoomketu, Raat Akeli Hai and Serious Men, which released digitally, and fetched him accolades.

"After watching a lot of world cinema during lockdown, I have realised that it's high time for us to look beyond 'hero-heroine' formula films. Digital media is acting as a boon. It's one of the most democratic platforms. I hope people develop habit of watching good content there. There's no problem if you like watching such movies, but you should also watch other content," he said.
