Divyenndu says OTT platforms let him break typecast with Mirzapur role

In a recent interview with The Times of India, actor Divyenndu said that over‑the‑top (OTT) platforms have allowed him to showcase a side of his acting that traditional cinema and television had not fully captured. He referred specifically to his role in the popular series Mirzapur, which he believes broke the mould of characters he had previously been associated with.
Divyenndu explained that the digital format offers greater creative freedom, enabling performers to experiment with nuanced performances without the constraints of conventional typecasting. The actor highlighted how the series’ gritty narrative and complex character arcs gave him room to explore deeper emotional layers.
He added that this shift is reshaping the notion of stardom in India, as audiences now value versatility and authenticity over familiar on‑screen personas. According to Divyenndu, OTT has become a catalyst for redefining success for actors willing to take on diverse roles.
