MUMBAI: Nawazuddin Siddiqui, known for his commendable performance in Sacred Games, has decided to quit digital platforms. OTT platforms have turned into a "dhanda (racket) for huge production houses," the actor said.

He added, “The platform has become a dumping ground for redundant shows. We either have shows that don’t deserve to be seen in the first place. Or sequels to shows that have nothing more to say.”

Nawazuddin also mentioned why he chose not to work on digital platforms and what changed when he starred in Netflix's Sacred Games. “When I did Sacred Games for Netflix, there was an excitement and challenge around the digital medium. New talent was being given a chance Now that freshness is gone,” the actor said.

He added, “It’s become dhanda (racket) for big production houses and actors who are now so-called stars on the OTT platform. Major film producers in Bollywood have cut lucrative deals with all the big players in the OTT field. Producers get whopping amounts to create unlimited content. Quantity has killed quality.”

He concluded, “When I can’t bear to watch them how can I bear to be in them? Yeh star system bade parde ko kha gaya (this star system killed the big screen). Now we have so-called stars on OTT claiming big money and throwing tantrums like Bollywood A-listers. They forget. Content is king.”
