With OTT gaining popularity, several stars will make their debut on digital platforms.
Joginder Tuteja tells us what we can expect from them.
Deepika Padukone
Gehraiyaan
Amazon Prime Video
Deepika is the biggest name making a debut on OTT.
At the time of conception, Gehraiyaan was designed for the big screen.
But due to the uncertainties during the pandemic, the release calendar has gone a change.
Dharma Productions has about half a dozen films on the floors currently and Gehraiyaan will make its OTT premiere in February.
Ananya Panday
Gehraiyaan
Amazon Prime Video
Ananya is not new to the world of OTT as she has already been seen in Khaali Peeli, opposite Ishaan Khatter.
Technically, Gehraiyaan will be her debut on OTT, since Khaali Peeli had seen a token theatrical release at the time of release.
Her new film, directed by Shakun Batra, sees her play a mature part, where her boyfriend (Siddhant Chaturvedi) falls in love with her cousin (Deepika Padukone).

As a producer, Anushka Sharma has already won accolades with her Web series,Paatal Lok.

Expect an entertainer from Anushka as she gets into a Bengali avatar for this Web series that has just gone on the floors.
Sonakshi Sinha
Fallen
Amazon Prime Video
Sonakshi's Web series Fallen as well as her film Bulbul Tarang were announced some time back, and now one awaits their arrival.
While some reports indicate that Bulbul Tarang has been pushed ahead or even shelved, Fallen is on track.
In the Reema Kagti directed Web series, Sonakshi plays an upright cop.
Madhuri Dixit
Finding Anamika
Netflix
A Karan Johar offering, Finding Anamika features Madhuri as an actress.
Madhuri, who was seen in Double Dhamaal and Kalank in 2019, saw a rather quiet 2020 and 2021, but she should be back in action this year.

For her OTT debut, Juhi joins Soha Ali Khan, Kritika Kamra and Karishma Tanna in Hush Hush.
