Confirming the same to us, Singh reveals, “I am offered many OTT projects, but I feel hesitant in committing to something that is half-baked, especially when it comes to web. It’s a longer format and needs unbelievable writing. So, now I am doing Khakee: The Bengal Chapter with Neeraj Pandey. We are shooting that, and I am quite excited about it. I am about to sign a film and get back to the commercial space as well. There is one more project in the pipeline too.”

Over the years, the actor has been a part of memorable projects including Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi, Yeh Saali Zindagi, Desi Boyz, Inkaar and Bob Biswas, but they have been far and few. As she credits the gap to a lack of good offers, she also shares that it led her to turn to production. “When I wasn’t getting good offers and the kind of work I wanted to do, I produced Soorma (2018). Even now, I am developing projects and hopefully, by the end of the year, we should be able to put two projects into work- a web series and a feature film,” she says.

 

Singh adds that the current uncertain box office scenario has made it quite challenging to be a producer, and this year’s performance of films is a testament to that. “We’ve been struggling for the last three-four years, ever since COVID passed. The pandemic derailed everything and even now, people are struggling to get back on their feet with theatre releases. It makes things all the more difficult, especially for someone like me who is a passion producer. I am not a big stalwart in the industry but doing it out of passion, and it’s harder. But I’ve been trying and only those who fight hard can survive in this industry,” she ends.
