Mumbai, Dec 14 (NationPress) Actor-director Kunal Kemmu, who is garnering positive feedback for his role in the recently launched streaming series ‘Single Papa’, has outlined the distinctions between working in cinema and long-format narratives.

During a promotional interview with IANS for ‘Single Papa’, the actor expressed that while cinema demands performance within a strict timeframe, long-format content, which spans several episodes, provides him the opportunity to delve more deeply into a character's role.

Kemmu stated to IANS, “I don't know if there's much of a change (in long-format and cinema) but it's more interesting to do a series because you get to live that character for a longer period of time. You get to build the arc of that character in depth because it's not like a two hour or a two and a half hour, three hour journey that the audiences are going to have with you”.

He added, “So you got to be more in the skin of this character because over years and depending on how many episodes there are, it can shift. But I think it's not just for an actor. I think primarily it's at the writing stage as they kind of are the architects of the ship. So, they build that character in detail. And then of course for me as an actor, I enjoy the fact that if it's well written. A well-written part makes the job of an actor easier, and the audience eventually enjoys it. But if it's not, then it can get taxing”.

‘Single Papa’ marks Kunal’s third streaming series following ‘Abhay’ and ‘Pop Kaun?’ After the first two series, Kunal expanded his portfolio by making his directorial debut in cinema with ‘Madgaon Express’, which is on the cusp of achieving modern cult status.

Discussing his experience on the series, he remarked, “I feel spent as an actor that I've lived this character inside out. But I like the fact that you can get deeper in the dynamics of the relationships of this character with everybody else”.
