Gul Panag is all set to play a lawyer and the co-founder of a law firm in her latest show 'Good Bad Girl', which also stars Samridhi Dewan and Vaibhav Raj Gupta. Interestingly, her character Zaina Mistry is at the centre of the show, which is not a courtroom drama, but is about the politics that goes on in a law firm.
During a conversation with Outlook, Gul revealed the reason behind giving her nod to the show, and said, 바카라I completed my law degree a month prior to when the show was offered to me. So, I was intrigued by the part. Secondly, the show was being produced by Vikas Bahl, and since he reached out to me, I instantly said yes.바카라
Further explaining the characters and the premise of the show, Gul stated, 바카라Vaibhav Raj Gupta of 바카라Gullak바카라 fame plays my brother in the show and there바카라s a constant dynamic of rivalry between the both of us. Samridhi Dewan plays Maya Ahuja, who is the 'Good Bad Girl', an unapologetically ambitious girl, who will not let anything or anyone come in her way. The show will be a genre redefining show and we will see parts written with women leads, but in a completely different perspective. Maya바카라s character too is neither black or white, but has shades of grey, and that바카라s closer to reality for all of us.바카라
It is rather interesting to note, that in the time and age when the majority of leading A-list actors of the 90s era are tanking at the box office, their female counterparts are ruling the OTT platforms. For instance, Madhuri Dixit was flawless in 바카라Fame Game바카라, so was Sonali Bendre in 'The Broken News'. Raveena Tandon too, managed to shine bright in 바카라Aranyak바카라. S
Similarly, Gul, too, has won hearts with her roles in 바카라The Family Man바카라 and 바카라Pataal Lok바카라, both of which streamed on Amazon Prime Video. So, why are female actresses doing great on streaming platforms along with playing characters their age, which wasn바카라t the norm before? Gul credits it to the fact that OTT has empowered the audience and has made a move away from the economics of traditional filmmaking.
바카라As an actor, I am acting for the camera 바카라 unless I am acting for the stage, that is theatre 바카라 so it doesn바카라t make a difference to me. But with cinema and the economics of traditional filmmaking, actors are governed by it. Making a film and releasing it in theatres is an expensive task. Not to say that OTT is cheap because 바카라The Family Man바카라 had one of the biggest budgets as compared to other OTT shows. So it is not about the budget, but the recovery of that budget,바카라 she said.
According to her, when a film is released in theatres, the makers need people to come out of their homes and spend money, week after week, and also stick to a time schedule of shows.
바카라Only a certain set of audience would go to the theatres to support their favourite stars. Therefore, economics actually decides the kind of cinema that is being made. In the case of OTT, you are consuming content from wherever you are. You are the deciding factor of what you want to watch. Since OTT has empowered the audience, the constant consumption has gone up, so more shows are being made and there바카라s more work for actors, including female leads, on OTT.바카라
In fact, Gul asserted that in 바카라Good Bad Girl바카라 too, the lead character Maya is a quintessential vibgyor in terms of character, despite being a strong woman. It바카라s a change from how strong women in cinema are usually shown as just white, with no shades of black.
Helmed by Abhishek Sengupta and produced by Vikas Bahl and Anurag Shrivastava, 바카라Good Bad Girl바카라 also features Sheeba Chadha, Aradhya Anjana, Namrata Sheth, Rajendra Sethi, and Zain Khan amongst others.
The show is streaming on SonyLIV from October 14, 2022.
