Emraan Hashmi made his digital debut with a Netflix original titled “Bard of Blood”, produced by Shah Rukh Khan’s Red Chillies Entertainment. He will next be seen in a psychological thriller “The Body”.

Emraan Hashmi impressed everyone with his performance in the Netflix original Bard of Blood (2019), which marked his digital debut. Produced by Shah Rukh Khan under the banner of Red Chillies Entertainment, the web-series received warm response from the viewers. However, even after garnering praises for his work on the web-space, Emraan Hashmi would like to limit his presence on it.

"But as far as doing a lot of OTT, that is something I have not given much thought. I am selective about it as you have to balance it out. If you are so readily available on OTT platforms then why would someone come and see you in a cinema hall?" Emraan Hashmi told a newswire in an interview.

The actor also revealed that the second season of Bard of Blood is currently in the scripting stage and that is the only show that he is committed to as far as any his work on the digital medium is concerned. "For me, Bard of Blood was about exploring this worldwide audience with Netflix. I got a lot of offers for OTT platforms during that time. I get them even today. But I'll only be committed to the second season, whenever it happens. It is still being written. I don't know when it is going to start."

Emraan Hashmi went on to add that he is happy with the response he received for his debut show on OTT. "I get a lot of positive response when I go out and people say the show was amazing, that they binge-watched it. People I have not heard from in 10 years suddenly start messaging me saying they are hooked. I take that as a sign of a hit show. There are a few critics who would shoot holes, but the audience does not see it that way. A lot of people have liked it. They don't sit down to find things in it. They enjoy the journey," he said in conclusion.

The actor is now gearing up for the theatrical release of his forthcoming Hindi film The Body, co-starring Rishi Kapoor and Sobhita Dhulipala. The movie will be entering cinemas on December 13.
