MUMBAI: Unquestionably, Kritika Kamra enjoys playing the chor-police game. In the new sci-fi thriller series Gyaarah Gyaarah by Umesh Bisht, the actor plays an upright cop after portraying a gangster in her most recent film, Bambai Meri Jaan (2023).

Recognizing this turning point in her professional development, Kamra states, “It was an opportunity I jumped at. There are some tender moments in the show. Behind the police procedures, there is a human drama. The emotional lives of these characters are tough, and only someone like Umesh sir could have dealt with it so delicately.”

Kamra debuted on television in 2007, and is one of the rare artists who has moved smoothly to the digital realm. She admits that OTT has democratized the casting process and given performers a platform to display fresh skills.

“Because, as far as the web platform is concerned, one need not carry the baggage linked to the box-office opening [collections], creators can cast whoever they desire. Since people are roped in only via auditions, both artistes [from the television industry], and newcomers may find a place here.”

She admits that the film industry has never been as welcoming to this group of talented people, even though the web platform has provided chances to gifted performers from the television industry. “Both businesses work differently. There is a price that you must pay—you have to quit that [TV] to be accepted in mainstream films. This hierarchy hasn’t been created by actors, but by the audience and filmmakers. They see commercial viability in actors who haven’t been seen on TV. The onus to change that image is on the actor.”

Those who have successfully transitioned from small to big screens have “probably been able to do that with one big project, or weren’t in the public eye to begin with”. “But, for someone who has been on television for years, this transition to films takes time.”
