In the past few years, there have been quite a lot of web shows which became popular and spawned subsequent seasons. Sacred Games, Asur, Inside Edge, Maharani- there’s a long list. Amit Sadh himself starred in Breathe. And then reprised his role in Breathe: into The Shadows. Season three is on the way.

Actor Amit Sadh will be seen next in Breathe season 3.

Has the franchise bug taken away from makers coming up with more original content and stories, by making them prolong a single story? Sadh doesn’t agree.

“There’s a lot of hue and cry about these things- remakes, adaptations too. I think the audience doesn’t give a damn about it. You give them a good story, convincing performances, their thrill, fun, they are okay,” believes the 38-year-old.

In fact, content of different languages is also being increasingly accepted. Sadh continues, “What about Malayalam, Telugu films. There’s a big world with different stories, different mindsets. There’s no right and wrong. For me, personally it’s about right and wrong intention, that’s the crux and the core. Why not make adaptations? If there’s something that’s done well in a certain language, country, if you think you can bring that to another part of the world…”

He writes for HT City, keeping pace with an industry where news cycles expire long before the popcorn gets cold. He completed his graduation in English Honours from Kirori Mal College, followed by a Master’s degree in English Literature-effectively training his brain to over-analyse classic texts before applying those exact same skills to 3-hour Bollywood blockbusters.

In a beat driven by loud PR machinery and carefully scripted answers, Rishabh prefers cutting through the noise to focus on how stories get made and why trends shift. When he isn’t writing against a deadline, he is usually sitting in a dark theater, compulsively memorising dialogues. For Rishabh, analysing movies isn't just a day job- it’s a habit he couldn't turn off even if he tried.
