The medium of OTT arrived in India roughly a decade in the past. But OTT was in a position to growth in India through the COVID-19 pandemic because the cinema halls have been closed for an indefinite interval. Like everybody else, Vijay Varma too took time to get used to the brand new medium. The actor spoke about how his content material consumption habits modified throughout a panel dialogue on the Bollywood Hungama OTT Fest in Mumbai.

Bollywood Hungama OTT Fest Day 2: Vijay Varma reveals how he acquired hooked onto the online medium: “I used to watch one film a day for years until I saw Breaking Bad”

He mentioned, “I was an avid movie watcher, especially till about 2010-2011. I had this mantra when I was studying at the film school that watch one film every day. So I used to watch one film a day for years until I saw Breaking Bad. That’s when I was like, ‘You can’t put this thing down. What is the deal?’”

Explaining some great benefits of OTT when it comes to creativity, Vijay added, “It’s such a blessing because the kind of audacity those writers have taken. The kind of brave choices those writers and directors have taken; you can never take those choices in cinema. The pay-off is way too long. It’s happening after four seasons. You are invested for 4-5 years. It’s incredible. That’s the power of storytelling. And I wish we get there.”

Vijay was requested his personal expertise of working in OTT exhibits, to which he mentioned, “Although I have not done a character, which is recurring season after season. Maybe Mirzapur. But we will watch what happens when that happens. But exploring a character over the span of eight hours is far more satisfying for an actor, than to do it in an hour and a half, although I love both equally and I can’t take a side.”
