Television fame Aly Goni, who was rumored to be a contestant of Big Boss 14, surely has some other plans in his head as the actor is headed towards his digital debut with web series 'Zidd'. Directed by Vishal Mangalorkar, the web series is produced by Boney Kapoor.
Aly has already started the preps for the series as he will be seen in the role of an Army officer. Talking about the series, he said, `This is a huge opportunity. Working in a web series produced by Boney Kapoor is definitely a big thing for me. It also stars Amit Sadh. His work on the web platform has been well received.` Sharing details about his prep, Aly adds, `The series has an Army backdrop so I am trying hard to lose weight. I am working out and doing MMA (mixed martial arts).`
Excited about his role, Aly shared that " I feel that OTT space is best for an actor. You can do a lot of creative stuff on this platform. And I always wanted to do something raw which would not have been possible in Television shows. Majorly for that, I have never played a lead on television. I feel on OTT an actor gets a free hand to perform and that's what I have always aimed for. I will be honest. I used to be a huge fan of content from the West but since the time Indian shows are being made, I have become a huge admirer. We should all support our own content and now I am dying to be a part of this."
Aly Goni was recently seen in the stunt reality show 'Khatron Ke Khiladi' 2020. 'Zidd' will be streaming on ZEE 5 and also stars Amit Sadh, Amrita Puri, and Sushant Singh.
