Actor Karan Wahi has done some of the biggest shows, but there was also a time when Karan wanted to feature in films. He even starred in Dawat-e-Ishq and Hate Story 4, but after that, Karan did not pursue a career in the movies. Recently, at the promotions of his upcoming show Raisinghani v/s Raisinghani, the actor spoke about it with Indianexpress.com.
When asked why he chose not to work more in the film industry, Karan said, “Yes, there was Bollywood work, but there were times when the films didn’t materialize. At the end of the day, I just don’t want to do a film for the heck of doing one. It is fun to watch yourself on the 70mm, but I would rather play a small part on TV which is important and effective, than just be a property on film screen and satisfy my ego that I did a film. All of us want to know what we are doing when a script comes to us, it could be the biggest film, producer, or director, but if I am not doing much in the film, after that I will anyways not get anything offered. That’s why it is not been pursued, it’s not like nobody wants to work.”

Karan Wahi also shared how the audience has changed today and how hard it is to please them. He said, “Our Indian audience is used to coming back to a character over and over again. On TV, unfortunately, there are certain restrictions you have to abide by. OTT breaks those norms. I feel OTT is the future. Unfortunately, we give credibility to certain platforms, and that norm should completely change. As an actor, there have been times where it must have come to my head, that I wish to work on a particular OTT channel, but that is not because they have better content, but because sometimes I have felt, that despite doing a good show, it has not reached the masses. I have worked on every OTT platform. As actors, we see the script or story more than anything else.”
