Arjun Bijlani, a well-known name in the television industry, has always aspired to take on meaningful and diverse projects across various mediums. However, television holds a unique and significant place in both his career and his heart. Known for its rigorous demands, television is often regarded as a platform that molds actors like no other medium. Despite this, TV actors often face the challenge of being overlooked when it comes to casting for films and OTT projects. Arjun Bijlani, recognising this disparity, offers a thoughtful perspective on the situation.
Acknowledging the immense effort and discipline that goes into producing a daily episode of a show, Arjun Bijlani says, “I agree that television provides an incredible foundation for any actor. The sheer volume of work and the pace at which we work sharpen our skills and discipline.” He further points out the challenge TV actors face when transitioning to films and OTT platforms.
Arjun Bijlani shares, “It’s true that TV actors are often typecast or overlooked for films and OTT projects, but I believe things are slowly changing. Talent speaks louder than mediums, and as long as we continue to work hard and push boundaries, the recognition will come.”

Arjun Bijlani is optimistic about this change, noting that opportunities for TV actors to explore other mediums are becoming more abundant. When asked if it’s easier now to break into films and OTT compared to the past, he responds,
