In an interview with Free Press Journal, Aamir Ali talks about the boom in streaming services. The actor spoke about getting chances to play different characters in OTT and the limitations of television. He shared that even though television producers try to do different things, the content is vastly different from what is available on OTT. 

He said, “I have seen TV producers explore and do different things, but you can't do the content that is there on OTT. I am not talking about the bold scenes; it is not important to have bold scenes to attract attention.” He added that many people are driven by the scenes but for him, it is important for the script to have it. He said, “Many people try, but that is not important. If it is for the script, yes.”

During the same conversation, Aamir said, “I remember watching my first OTT show, Breaking Bad when I was doing television, and I was like, ‘This is the kind of work I want to do; why am I not doing it?’ That’s when I made up my mind that these are the kinds of shows and content I want to be a part of. I waited, and I’m trying my best to be a part of such shows, and the boom is amazing for all of us.” 

After boasting a successful career in television, Aamir ventured into the streaming space. He has been featured in the web series The Trial, Black Widows, Naxalbhari and most recently Lootere.
