A theatre veteran and star in his days at the National School of Drama, and a colourful stint on the London stage, Adil Hussain’s recall amongst millennial audiences has grown hugely, courtesy his prominent presence in alternate content on streaming platforms.

“We are grooming and educating a different set of audience with streaming platforms, which I hope will seep over to larger, common viewers.You see the rates at which 4G and now 5G are being offered to Indians, and with huge access everywhere, there is huge amount of appreciation for fresh, undiscovered content and films. Content led series are bigger draws today. We are sitting here in Assam and watching Narcos. This wouldn’t have been possible a few years back.
