MUMBAI: Prateik Chaudhary, who will be seen playing a struggling actor in web-show “Becharey”, says it was a challenging yet interesting role, for this character The actor, best known for “Paramavtar Shri Krishna” is hopeful the audience will find his new show interesting. According to Prateik, for the role of Vicky, a struggling actor, the makers were scouting for actors who have good comic timing. Talking about his role, he says, “The character of Vicky is opposite of me. He's a Bhojpuri guy, who is a struggler, big fan of Ravi Kishan and wants to become an actor. Playing this character was really challenging and interesting for me.” I also had to gain weight, to fit into the character, i always had a lean muscular body but just for the character, I gained little weight to give proper justice to the character. The series directed by Kranti Pratap Singh will be released on mxplayer The show is presented by Colourblindentertainment. Having acted on both the mediums – TV and OTT, Prateik says for him the story and the team matters the most, irrespective of the medium. “If the story and everything is good I don't mind doing TV or web or exploring any other platform. I believe both TV and OTT are totally different from each other. On television there's a limitation about many things. Censorship is there and because of that there are family based shows,” he says. While, on the web, Prateik says one can attempt several things as per the demand of the character and story.
“To do justice to the character, one can experiment things without any limitation. In ‘Becharey’ I got complete freedom from my director to explore my character Vicky,” he says, adding, as an actor he enjoys being part of both the platforms.
Prateik says as an actor he is open to the idea of doing anything and everything on the screen, including intimate scenes if I like the story and the team. “I don't think anyone should be judged on doing intimate scenes or any other scene, not only men but even women. No one should be judged, because it's just the character he or she is playing as per the demand of the story,” he concludes.
