Women Protagonists On OTT More Prominent Than Male Ones: Raveena Tandon

Women protagonists on OTT have been more prominent than their male counterparts, actor Raveena Tandon believes. One of the leading ladies of 90s Bollywood, Tandon is set to make her web debut late this year with Netflix thriller series Aranyak. 

At a Netflix event, the Mohra actor elaborated on the way content on over-the-top (OTT) platforms is redefining gender roles and giving larger space to women. "We have seen women take charge in the industry but with a global platform like Netflix coming in, even our audience has become aware... to explore untold stories, different formats and experiment with cinema," she said. "Even the way they view an Indian woman, their perspective has changed. Women protagonists have been more prominent than the male ones."

Earlier this week, Netflix unveiled 15 Indian series for 2021 and signed Tandon for a “mysterious, intriguing” supernatural crime thriller based in Himachal. See other upcoming titles by Netflix.
