Glam diva Payal Rajput believes that steamy scenes' are crossing all the limits on OTTs and it has become difficult to watch web series with parents.

Glam diva Payal Rajput is banking on her upcoming movie ‘Mangalavaram’ to bounce back into the reckoning since it is first-of-its kind movie in Indian cinema. She also lauds director Ajay Bhupathi for his dedication and passion. Despite doing a web series, the young diva believes that ‘steamy scenes’ are crossing all the limits on OTTs and it has become difficult to watch web series with parents. She says in a chit chat with BVS Prakash of Deccan Chronicle.

Q: How are you feeling about doing your maiden female-centric movie ‘Mangalavaram’?

A: Although I am playing the protagonist in this gripping saga, it is neither a usual female-centric movie nor am I carrying any heavy baggage on my shoulders. Rather, it has multiple characters who also have equal significance and importance. For now, I can’t share more details about the film. Undoubtedly, it is the first-of-its kind movie in Indian cinema and bound to create ripples.

Q: How is it working with Ajay Bhupathi after ‘RX 100’?

A: It is always amazing to work with him. We were like Tom and Jerry during ‘RX 100’ days and used to indulge in arguments and fights. But now, I have understood him completely and he understands me well. So we had smooth-sailing work during ‘Mangalavaram’. I haven’t seen a director like Ajay who is so dedicated and passionate about his work while his clear vision and clarity has baffled me.

Q: You haven’t taken up much on OTT after web series like ‘3 Roses’ and ‘Anaganaga Oka Athidi’?

A: I am looking for some exciting offers on OTT and not in a hurry. Besides now-a-days steamy scenes are going overboard on digital space. I am unable to watch web content with my father or mother without feeling embarrassed due to overloaded bold stuff. Despite being young, I am sucked into old fashioned ideas and I attribute it to my upbringing and close-knit family.  

Q:  You seem to have become choosy after a few flops?

A: Though I am getting offers, I don’t want to take up new ones until the release of ‘Mangalavaram’. I would like to spend time on art and craft for the next two months. Rather than just chilling out, I would like to hone new skills to spend my time fruitfully. I am pinning a lot of hopes on ‘Mangalaravam’, as I believe that it will take me to new highs.
