Madhuri
Dixit
is
all
set
to
make
her
OTT
debut
with
Netflix
as
she
gears
up
for
a
family
drama
full
of
suspense.
The
untitled
Netflix
series
will
be
produced
by
Karan
Johar.
Excited
about
foraying
into
the
digital
space,
Madhuri
says,
"I
am
extremely
excited
to
be
making
my
OTT
acting
debut.
As
an
artiste,
I
am
always
looking
out
to
do
work
that
is
creatively
fulfilling
and
that
reaches
out
to
maximum
number
of
people."
The
show
is
written
by
New
York-based
writer-director
Sri
Rao.
The
actress
further
added,
"It
reflects
a
bit
on
the
lives
that
people
in
the
entertainment
industry
lead.
The
story
is
entertaining,
gripping,
nail-biting
and
yet
heartwarming
and
I
can't
wait
to
start
shooting
for
it."
What
the
actor
finds
particularly
enthusing
is
how
the
OTT
medium
marries
"two
of
the
most
important
things
in
the
world
today
-
entertainment
and
internet,
thereby
giving
opportunities
to
all
actors
and
filmmakers
to
create
content
that
can
reach
out
to
millions
of
people
across
the
world."
Madhuri,
who
had
produced
a
Marathi
film
15
August
for
the
OTT
medium
earlier
this
year,
adds,
"With
changing
times,
our
audience
is
also
seeking
more
engaging
content,
which
also
means
sharing
stories
of
real
and
strong
women." A
mother
of
two,
Madhuri
is
glad
that
platforms
are
doing
their
bit
to
"pique
the
interest
of
a
global
audience
who
clearly
wants
to
hear
and
see
stories
about
women
they
can
relate
to".
More
so,
the
one
marked
change
she
notices
in
showbiz
is
how
content
has
moved
beyond
theatres.
"With
the
help
of
OTT
platforms,
performers
and
creators
have
been
given
another
avenue
to
express
their
creativity
and
take
on
more
challenges.
It
gives
us
the
freedom
and
flexibility
to
narrate
and
showcase
stories
that
need
to
be
told,
heard
and
seen.
It
is
not
about
big
faces
anymore,
but
about
big
talent,"
says
Madhuri,
who
is
convinced
it's
a
"great
time"
to
be
an
actor
or
filmmaker
today.
