Illegal 3 Exclusive! Piyush Mishra On People Claiming 'Theatre Is Dying', OTT Vs Cinema & More

Veteran Actor Piyush Mishra will be returning on screen with Illegal 3, his upcoming courtroom drama series slated to stream on JioCinema Premium 29th May onwards. Featuring many renowned actors like Neha Sharma, Akshay Oberoi, Ira Dubey and Satyadeep Mishra, Illegal delves into the life of lawyers. Veteran actor Piyush Mishra has delivered many great performances in his career irrespective of the medium. Recently, he spoke about working in Theatre and how it differs from the OTT space.

While opening up on the charm of theaters, Piyush shares, "People should go and watch theaters at small places. A lot of people are turning to the cinema and I am very happy. People claim theater is dying, but theater is dying from 40 years and no one is able to do anything about it. I remember for one project all us actors sat down together to read lines in Marwadi when we were actually not fluent in the language, a great experience! Such is the magic of Theatre and there are still many young artists who are motivated to maintain the legacy"

While sharing his thoughts on the better option between OTT and Cinema, Piyush shares, "There can't be any comparison between OTT and cinema in terms of which is better. In OTT there's a lot of comfort with acting. New actors and writers are getting amazing opportunities. Today we find a variety of actors who have become the audience's favorites because of OTT while Theatre has its own charm."

Illegal 3 is streaming ad-free from May 29 onwards on JioCinema Premium. It is available for streaming on the leading OTT platform at a nominal cost of Rs 29 per month. Viewers just need to pay the subscription if they want to watch the show online.
