Shilpa Shetty Kundra, a veteran actor in the Hindi film industry, discusses the significant changes in filmmaking economics influenced by shifting audience preferences and the rise of OTT platforms. She asserts that filmmakers are increasingly reluctant to take risks, opting for safer projects on streaming services. With over three decades in the industry, Shetty is now selective about her roles, aiming for projects that justify her presence on screen. She expresses a desire for her children to experience her work in a theatrical setting, noting that they have only seen her in preview theatres. Shetty reflects on the challenges faced by films like 'Sukhee', which struggled for theatrical space, and emphasizes the value of OTT for audience discovery. As she takes on new projects, including hosting a cooking reality show, Shetty reaffirms her commitment to meaningful roles, stating that the length of a role is not her primary concern. She remains confident in her decisions, having turned down several major films for personal reasons.
