Ahead
of
his
digital
debut,
actor
Shahid
Kapoor
says
he
is
nervous
about
venturing
into
a
new
medium.
Kapoor,
the
star
of
movies
such
as
Jab
We
Met,
Kaminey,
Haider
and
Kabir
Singh,
is
headlining
an
untitled
series,
created
and
written
by
Raj
Nidimoru
and
Krishna
DK
of
The
Family
Man
fame
for
streamer,
Amazon
Prime
Video.
During
an
Instagram
Live
session
on
Monday
evening,
the
Jersey
actor
said
his
success
in
the
movies
doesn't
guarantee
acceptance
on
OTT
platforms.
"I'm
very
nervous
about
making
my
digital
debut
because
I
really
feel
that
actors
who
might
have
been
liked
and
loved
on
the
big
screen,
might
or
might
not
be
appreciated
on
a
digital
platform," Kapoor
said.
The
40-year-old
actor
was
interacting
with
his
fans
to
celebrate
two
years
of
his
2019
blockbuster
"Kabir
Singh".
The
long
form
formats
are
more
difficult
to
pull
off
because
actors
have
to
ensure
that
the
audiences
continue
to
remain
interested
in
their
characters.
Speaking
about
it,
Shahid
said.
"You
can't
just
be
okay
if
people
like
you
for
a
couple
of
hours.
They
need
to
be
interested
in
your
character,
connect
with
you
and
you
need
to
hold
their
attention
for
9-10
episodes.
I
don't
think
I'm
experienced
in
that
space.
So
it
would
be
interesting
to
see
how
people
react
to
me
on
that
platform."
The
actor
said
he
always
wanted
to
feature
in
a
long-form
content
as
it
offers
scope
to
flesh
out
a
nuanced
portrayal
of
a
character.
"Most
of
the
time
when
I've
finished
my
movies,
whether
it
was
Haider
or
Kabir
Singh,
I
always
used
to
hope
I've
been
able
to
bring
out
every
aspect
of
this
character.
When
you
have
more
time,
it
allows
you
to
share
more
of
him
with
the
audience.
It'll
be
interesting
to
see
how
they
respond
to
that,
whether
they
like
me
in
that
space,
whether
I'll
be
able
to
do
something
different
as
opposed
to
what
I
do
in
a
movie."
Shahid,
however,
was
tight-lipped
about
the
much-awaited
series.
He
said
he
was
"not
allowed
to
say
much" but
teased
that
the
project
would
be
a
departure
from
his
previous
works.
"I
have
loved
Raj
and
DK's
work
for
a
while.
I
really
enjoyed
seeing
'The
Family
Man'
and
I
totally
loved
season
two.
The
web
series
is
very
different
from
anything
that
I've
ever
done.
It's
going
to
be
exciting.
It's
a
quirky
crime
drama,"
he
added.
