Dibyendu Bhattacharya talks about ‘Loop Lapeta’, ‘Rocket Boys’ #Dibyendu #Bhattacharya

Mumbai, Feb 3 : With two of his projects -- Looop Lapeta (Netflix) and Rocket Boys (SonyLIV) -- releasing on Friday, Dibyendu Bhattacharya says that a webseries is more interesting than a TV soap because of the creative liberty it offers to every character of the narrative that neither TV nor a feature film does.After graduating from the National School of Drama, Divyendu made his debut in cinema with Mira Nairs Monsoon Wedding, followed by roles in Maqbool, Black Friday, Dev D.

and Dhan Dhana Dhan Goal.However, he gained visibility, in the recent past through web series such as Criminal Justice, Delhi Crime, Jamtara - Sabka Number Ayega, Lalbazaar, Mirzapur Season 2 and Ray.

Elaborating on his transition, the actor told IANS: "I think that has everything to do with the creative space.You see, things that you cannot do elaborately in a feature film, you get a chance to do them in a web series.

But when it comes to TV serials, from the kind of content made in the recent past, we can see how limited these are as a medium for actors to express themselves."I love cinema and theatre.

Being a theatre actor and student of NSD, my approach is different and what I have realised is that a web series is like an extended version of a well-made film.That is why it is interesting and actors like us are getting their due."The actor is playing an antagonist in the Taapsee Pannu-starrer Looop Lapeta and in Rocket Boys, too, he has a pivotal part to play in the narrative.His Rocket Boys character, Raza Mehdi, is an amalgamation of the scientists who worked with Vikram Sarabhai and Homi J.Bhabha."Because it is a thriller I cannot talk much about Looop Lapeta, but I must say that Rocket Boys is a story worth waiting for.It is based on the life journeys of Vikram Sarabhai and Dr Homi J.Bhabha, who helped space research and nuclear power in India at a time when technology was not that advanced in our country.It is an entertaining story that also educates," Bhattacharya said.
