An International Emmy Awards nomination
for Inside Edge will definitely be a game
changer and make the Indian industry sit
up and take notice of the series whose
success they had refused to acknowledge,
says actor Vivek Oberoi.
The cricket-themed series Inside Edge is
Amazon's only representation in the
International Emmy Awards nomination list
as it has landed a spot in the best drama
category.
Asked if he feels the nomination will be a
game-changer, Vivek told IANS: "Most
definitely! When we did season 1, we were
trailblazers and faced a lot of people within
our industry who refused to acknowledge
the success of the show and did not take us
seriously despite the love we got from the
fans.
Vivek Oberoi: "Our Industry Refused To
Acknowledge The Success Of Inside Edge
"But now, this Emmy nomination has
changed that.
Vivek labels the nomination as an
"acknowledgement of our arrival on the
global stage.
The show is based on a fictional T20 cricket
team. It involves the business world, the
world of glamour and entertainment and
politics that goes around it.
The series also stars Richa Chadha, Tanuj
Virwani, Sidhhant Chaturvedi, Sanjay Suri,
Sarah Jane Dias, Sayoni Gupta and Angad
Bedi.
"Our entire Inside Edge family is so excited!
For all those who doubted whether India
could create content of international
standard, this is our answer, said Vivek,
who plays Vikrant Dhawan, owner of one of
the world's leading sports management
companies, in the show.
Now, the Company star is motivated to
work more in the digital space, even as he
is geared up for Season 2 of Inside Edge,
for which he is shooting in Georgia.
"Something big and exciting is on the
cards, we will announce it soon. It's the
right time to go global, he added, lauding
the growth of the digital platforms.

"I was the first mainstream actor to dive
into this space despite a lot of people
advising me against it. Im glad the gamble
paid off and how!
Calling himself a huge advocate of the
digital space, Vivek said: "(I) have been
speaking at forums globally about the
emerging role of India in this arena. I am
constantly meeting young talent and
exploring the possibilities, it is exhilarating.
At the Emmy Awards, to be held on
November 19, Inside Edge will go up
against buzzy Spanish series Money Heist,
Brazil-produced One Against All and Urban
Myths, which was on Sky in the UK, as per
the nominations announced by the
International Academy of Television Arts
and Sciences earlier this week.
Produced by Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh
Sidhwani under Excel Media and
Entertainment Private Limited, Inside
Edge came as Amazon's original web series
from India in July 2017.
Asked what's next on the Bollywood front,
Vivek said: "I had always wanted to do an
entire southern circuit all four major
languages. I will achieve that this year.
Aside from that, very soon I will be
announcing something extremely exciting
and big! The script is fabulous, an actor's
dream and hugely topical.
