It’s hard to make the transition from television to films or the web, but Karan Tacker took the gamble and waited until the right part came to him. After Neeraj Pandey’s Special Ops in 2020, he followed it up with Khakee: The Bihar Chapter (2022), and since then, the perception of the industry has changed. But the waiting game does make one question: is it worth it? Tacker feels it is. Now, with the sequel to the JioHotstar series set to stream on the platform, the actor says he is eagerly waiting to see how the audience reacts to the growth in his character. In conversation with mid-day, he talks about the show, the influence the filmmaker has had on him, and what it means to have this project on his filmography.
Excerpts from the interview:
TV makes you a household name, movies give an actor the thrill of being showcased on the 70mm screen. What does OTT do for you?
As far as I’m concerned, whether it’s OTT, films, or television, the love of what I do has not changed at all. Even if today Special Ops or Khakee: The Bihar Chapter had been on a film screen versus television, I would have put in the same amount of effort and love. So, it doesn’t change anything for me as an actor. Of course, the consumption pattern changes somewhere, but I feel in today’s times, what’s most important is the fact that people stick to the product. Whether you’re pressing play on a TV set to watch a series or buying a ticket to go to the theatres, as long as people stick around to watch the entire film or show, that’s what truly matters.
