Dino Morea who debuted on OTT with Mentalhood, earlier this year took up the role of an antagonist in Hostages season 2. The actor during an interaction talked about his OTT experience and his acting choices that now defines his career.

Dino debuted as an actor in Pyaar Mein Kabhi Kabhi and rose to fame with films like Raaz, Aksar, etc. However, he revealed to have been more cautious when choosing roles in the last decade. He recalled receiving a lot of opportunities earlier and said that the industry has given him a lot, "even if I have not scaled the heights that I wanted to. I took a step back because of the kind of movies I was getting. I took a conscious decision not to accept stupid films and scripts that were coming my way."

The actor also talked about his future plans in the industry and said, "I felt I was digging my grave by making ridiculous choices. I took a step back and continued to be a part of the movies. I produced a movie, Jism 2 (2012), thereafter I went to Delhi and did an acting course. Now, I am producing another film called Helmet starring Aparshakti Khurana. One hasn't seen me much as I don't want to accept just about any movie."

Talking about taking up new projects on OTT platform, Dino said, "You can't be mediocre on OTT." He also added that he has been enjoying the kind of roles he has been offered for OTT projects.

Dino Morea believes the OTT helps him, "instantly reach out to millions of viewers as compared to a movie, though movies have a charm that is unmatched. I don't differentiate between mediums and I feel if your web show is interesting and people love it, then it reaches out to a wide number of people all over the world. I enjoyed the roles in both projects I was a part of and I am looking forward to the other OTT projects that I am currently working on."

Dino Morea can be seen playing an assassin in Hostages 2. The show also stars Ronit Roy, Divya Dutta, Shweta Basu Prasad, Shibani Dandekar, and others. The new season on Hotstar Special released on September 9 and has been receiving praise from fans and critics alike.
