New Delhi: Kay Kay Menon believes digital
medium can be wonderful for the growth of quality cinema as it
thrives on actors, not stars.
The actor, who was in the capital to promote his new film
"Vodka Diaries", said people should not "adulterate" the
new medium like television.
"For me all the digital medium, especially all the
formats that you see, these are the openings for improving the
status of cinema, provided we don't adulterate it like we did
with TV.
"Television is a wonderful medium but we have ruined it
completely. I hope it does not happen with any of these web
formats. It does not require stars. It requires actors," the
actor said in a group interview.
Menon says his films may not have done well in theatres
but they found a second life on streaming services.
"I think I am one of the pioneers of this. My films have
not been watched in theatres but they are popular on other
mediums. They have been big hits and given me lot of
accolades," he said.
