It is quite challenging to do something on the digital space, says Karan

aran Tacker marked his digital debut last year with Special Ops, and is currently shooting for his next web project in Jharkhand. Going forward, the actor plans on exploring the medium to its fullest, for he feels it challenges the artiste in him.

“It is quite challenging to do something on the digital space. When you are shooting for something for eight hours as viewed content, you can’t let go of a scene thinking it is a filler,” explains the actor.

Web, he feels, is the “toughest medium”, as it requires the “most amount of realism and creative content.” “I would love to dabble in it, for that reason. People can catch you if you’re faking it. It further helps an actor participate in a longer form of storytelling,” he adds.

What also interests Tacker is films.

He had a brief appearance in the Shah Rukh Khan-starrer Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi (2008). And now, he looks forward to capturing the imagination of the audience with his presence on the big screen. “All actors become actors because of the idea of being showcased in a theatre. Getting a bunch of people in one room for collective viewing is a very different experience. I’ve enjoyed it as an audience and I would love it if people watch me doing a film with the same flair,” Tacker shares.

So, does he have a bucket list of directors he would want to work with? “I would love to do a 120-minute format with Neeraj Pandey. I enjoy his pacey narratives and time-relevant content. I would also love to work with Sriram Raghavan. And, I’ve always wanted to explore the worlds of Anurag Kashyap and Vikramaditya Motwane. They’ve got a very different sense of storytelling,” he says.
