Bollywood star Akshay Kumar says digital platforms have empowered several actors, who were earlier not considered viable for the big screen. Akshay Kumar, who is currently promoting BellBottom that’s set to arrive in theatres next week, spoke in a group interview about how OTT has been a game changer for many artistes, whom he calls “character actors”. If today, you want to cast a character actor, even if he is a little famous, he doesn’t have dates. You can get the biggest star’s date but not of character actors,” Akshay said. There are many such actors,” Akshay said, adding that stardom is irrelevant if one is not going after quality scripts.
