Deepak Paramesh, last seen in Ground Zero alongside Emraan Hashmi, talks about choosing roles with depth over duration.
As storytelling expands across platforms, he sees today’s entertainment landscape as an era of opportunity rather than competition.
In a rapidly evolving entertainment industry where screen time often becomes a benchmark for success, actor Deepak stands firmly rooted in his philosophy: depth over duration.
Known for his grounded performances and nuanced approach to characters, Deepak Paramesh was most recently seen in Ground Zero alongside Emraan Hashmi, a gripping film that tackled themes of trauma, duty, and redemption.
Speaking about what motivates him in selecting roles, Deepak makes it clear that it’s not the length of time on screen that matters, but the gravity of the role itself.

“What counts for me isn’t how long I’m on screen, but how memorable the role is. For me, a good role is one that’s well-written, challenges me as an actor, and leaves a lasting impression, no matter how long I’m on screen. Quality over quantity,” he says.
With the rise of multiple storytelling platforms, from traditional cinema to television and the booming OTT space, the competition might seem intense, but Deepak views it through a more optimistic lens.
He says, “I think it increases opportunities more than competition. With films, TV, and OTT all thriving, there’s room for a wide range of stories and talent. It pushes us to stay sharp and versatile, but ultimately, it’s a great time to be an actor.”
As more narratives find their audience across platforms, actors like Deepak continue to prioritize roles that resonate deeply, reminding us that sometimes the smallest parts leave the biggest marks.
