'Women Are Mercilessly Criticised'

'It's not like I haven't made mistakes. There have been a couple of questionable films, but I have always learned from the films I pick.'

Shraddha Srinath, known for films like Jersey and Vikram Vedha, is seen in her first Tamil OTT series, The Game: You Never Play Alone on Netflix.

"You can either say yes to everything that comes your way and be seen a lot on screen and posters, or you can choose what feels right to you. For me, my work is sacred. I don't take it for granted,"

The Game: You Never Play Alone is a big success.

The show had so many interesting subplots, a lot of scope to perform, the potential of it being my very first OTT...

I really loved the narration.

I was sent the synopsis of the show and it seemed interesting on paper.

I also knew the names behind it -- Producer Applause Entertainment and Director Rajesh M Selva -- and that reinforced my confidence in the project.

Is it difficult to find projects like The Game: You Never Play Alone where the entire plot revolves around the female lead?

To find an entire series that is based on my character is not hard to find.

I frequently receive synopsis of shows and films in which I play the central part. What is hard to find is a team that will execute it well and a story that is convincing.

So you are not short of challenging roles?

Yeah, there are many well-meaning, well-intentioned makers out there, but how many of them can pull off a female-centric plot and bring it out for people to watch? That's the tricky part.
