‘Bold content doesn’t have to be sleazy’: Sharad Malhotra

Television actor Sharad Malhotra, who is currently seen in Vikram Bhatt’s micro-series “Galat”, has talked about how bold content doesn’t have to be sleazy and depends completely on the director’s vision.

Sharing more on his reasons for taking up this role, Sharad said: “There are three main reasons that made me take up Galat without hesitation. First, the chance to work with Vikram Bhatt sir and Mahesh Bhatt sir — both legends I have always admired.”

“Second, the unique and edgy content. And third, the opportunity to collaborate with my director, Shahdab Khan. Honestly, for those who haven’t seen Galat yet, please watch it on Rocket Reels. The platform itself, founded by Krantibhai and Vikram Bhatt sir, is a hub for amazing micro web series content — from thrillers and dramas to adventure, comedy, and even AI-driven concepts.” Sharad talked about his bold role in the series. “Bold content doesn’t have to be cheap or sleazy; it can be bold yet classy, depending on the director’s vision. With Vikram sir at the helm, I had no second thoughts. My character, Dev Kapoor, is unlike anything I’ve played before, and that challenge excited me.” The actor said that this was his first time “sporting a salt-and-pepper look.”

“And I feel it carries a lot of ruggedness, charm, maturity, and confidence. Initially, I was a bit hesitant, wondering how people would react, but thankfully, the feedback has been amazing. Fans have loved it, and they’re already looking forward to Season 2,” he said.  (IANS)
