'LIFE WILL ALWAYS BE DIFFICULT

‘And it always should be.’

- 

Amit Sial has been acting for close to two decades but gained attention for his role as the devilmay-care Devender Mishra in Amazon Prime Video’s Inside Edge. His resume also includes Mirzapur, Jamtara: Sabka Number Ayega, Maharani, Kathmandu Connection, and the recently released Qala.

The actor, who will be seen next in Kathmandu Connection S2, is now aiming to notch up leading roles.

“I am trying to wake up from the world that I have become comfortable in,”

“I had a certain vision for the film when I bought the rights and didn’t want it to get lost in translation, so I stepped up.”

The first season of Kathmandu Connection was well-received. Tell us something about season 2.

Season 2 is connected to the first season. There are some new entrants this time around, specifically Prashant Narayan who is one of my favorite actors. There’s Harleen Sethi as well, who is amazing in the show.

And since the story moves forward from the first season, you will see some of those primary characters in season 2 as well. They will be reprising their roles in a new environment and in new surroundings.

Do you feel OTT has shaped the career of many actors like you who probably did not get the right opportunities in the movies? 

Yes, of course.

And it’s not just actors; OTT has opened doors to more opportunities for every creative person, be it writers, directors or (film)makers.

See, the world of films is very small; it does not have enough space for everybody.
