Ammit Dolaawat’s first web Series ‘The Clue’ premiers today on @Hungama Play & @MX Player. It will simultaneously stream on many other platforms like Vi movies & TV and many other platforms. The poster and the first look has already created a buzz. Ammit is excited about his debut on the OTT with The Clue. The series is directed by Vithal Veturkar and produced by Amit Hindocha. The other cast includes Rrahul Jainn, Raja Kapse and Ankita Parmar.

In a conversation with IWMBuzz.com, Ammit talks about his role, his OTT debut, and much more.

The promo shows you in a cop avatar and also in a stylish biker kind of a look? Is it a double role?

If it’s a double role or not, for that you will have to watch the series. All I would say is you will see many dimensions to me in the series and it’s an extremely interesting role.

Dev Season 1 & 2, Nave Lakshya and a cop again now?

What’s working the most on every platform is a crime series as it creates a lot of excitement, is unpredictable and holds the interest of the audience. So I feel honoured to lead such parts where I can carry the onus of the story on my shoulders. Besides, all my cop portrayals are different. I manoeuvre my performance according to the story & role; that’s where my experience as a theatre actor comes in. You will never find me repetitive ever.

What were the challenges while shooting this series?

We shot in 2 schedules during the first Covid phase and then after the second wave. It was extremely nerving because no one knew my wife was pregnant at that time. So I was even more careful and would take extra care whole shooting. Finishing this series is a courageous effort on part of the team and a blessing for sure.

TV Actor, OTT actor, Film Actor what’s the difference you see?

I feel either you are an actor or you are not, that’s about it. A trained actor or an aware actor can easily adapt to all formats. And you should be open to listening to what is asked of you by the director. I have done theatre, ads, Marathi films, TV and now web series and you will see me do a lot more of it all in the coming times. Maybe I am that guy who will break this myth or tag.

What do you think are your strengths as an actor?

I feel I flow and never let the flow stop; if one direction closes I mould myself into a new one. I am ready to take risks if I believe in anything, the biggest example is playing the lead Actor in the Marathi series ‘Nave Lakshya ” being a non-Maharashtrian. I worked hard on the language and I get it right and have been loved and appreciated for it. I like to put myself in roles and scripts that can make an actor uncomfortable or out of their comfort zone. I have done it many times in my career and that’s what has always made me grow and made me versatile, confident and sharp as an actor. I could shoot for 4 different films in a day and you will not know it’s done in a day.

What are your expectations from The Clue?

I don’t say expectations. I say love and appreciation. It’s a small budget series, made with a lot of love & courage. The director also allowed a lot of newcomers. With all the hard work it is streaming on reputed platforms like @Hungama Play & MX Player. So all I would say is 2022 is looking good and it’s just the beginning. You are going to see much more of me and in many bigger subjects. The clue is Streaming on @Hungama Play & MX player from 25th February.
