Actor Emraan Hashmi says he wants to strike a balance between films and web, and says he hasn't given much thought about working more on streaming platforms.
This year, the actor made his digital debut with Netflix's "Bard of Blood".
Emraan played Indian intelligence agent Kabir Anand in the series, based on Bilal Siddiqi's novel of the same name.
"But as far as doing a lot of OTT, that's something I haven't given much thought. I am selective about it as you have to balance it out. If you're so readily available on OTT platforms then why would someone come and see you in a cinema hall?" Emraan told PTI in an interview.
The 40-year-old actor said the second season of the espionage drama is currently in the scripting stage and it is the only show he is committed to on the digital medium.
"For me, 'Bard' was about exploring this worldwide audience with Netflix. I got a lot of offers for OTT platforms during that time. I get them even today. But I'll only be committed to the second season, whenever it happens. It is still being written, I don't know when it's going to start."
"Where probably that bit of criticism came in... By design the show was made to cater to a certain audience and penetrate into the mass centres too. We were juggling with two things... But what we were setting out to do, we accomplished that."
