On TV, but not getting lead roles in Bollywood, the actor expresses his pain

Actor Karan Tacker has achieved fame in television and OTT but struggles to find lead roles in Bollywood despite his success.

Karan Tacker, a well-known face in the television and OTT industries, first garnered attention through his role in the popular show "Ek Hazaaron Mein Meri Behna Hai" alongside Krystal D'Souza. His chemistry with co-stars helped solidify his reputation, leading him to transition into web series such as Neeraj Pandey's "Special Ops" and "Khaki: The Bihar Chapter," where he gained substantial recognition. Tacker has successfully carved out a prominent position in the OTT space, frequently appearing in various web series that showcase his talent.

Despite his achievements in television and OTT, Karan Tacker faces significant struggles in Bollywood, where he has not been able to secure lead roles. Although he has made numerous attempts to star in films, he remains typecast as a television actor, which has hindered his opportunities in the film industry. In a recent interview with Variety India, Tacker opened up about the challenges he faces due to his background in television, drawing attention to the barriers creators and casting directors often impose on actors from different media.

The actor's remarks shed light on the persistent stigma associated with television actors transitioning to film, highlighting the need for a more inclusive attitude within the Bollywood industry. Karanโ€™s journey reflects a broader issue faced by many talented actors who find it difficult to break into different segments of the entertainment sector. His candid discussions about his struggles serve as a call for recognition and opportunities for actors like him who have proven their skills in other entertainment realms but still face bias in Bollywood.
