The aim was to always maintain a balance between OTT and big screen. The magic of working in a theatrical film or to see yourself in big screen in unparallel. I feel like I am shifting gears right now and you will see me a lot on the big screen. Doing different projects with different genres is very important to expand your base and I really wanted to see what I am capable of even on the big screen,” says the actor.Shriya’s film Baara Number is directed by Vir Das and stars several other well known names like Sheeba Chaddha, Arunoday Singh, Ahsaas Channa amongst others.

Our film is a very found footage horror film which is a very specific genre with its own dedicated fan base. Found footage works because it blurs the difference between fiction and reality. As an actor it can be challenging and exciting,” Shriya concludes
