Cinema is the fastest way to create awareness: Prateik Babbar

After Mulk, actor Prateik Babbar says he wants do projects which are not only commercial, but have the potential to make a difference in a society.

He has signed a medical crime series Q Ward for the streaming platform, Voot. Written by Agrim Joshi and Debojit Das Purkayastha and produced by Siddharth P Malhotra, Q Ward revolves around the life of four honest doctors who are fighting against the corruption within the system. 

"This is a drama mystery and a concept that has never been showcased in Indian entertainment before. You know, there have been times I have seen how ethics are forgotten in the world of medicine and greed comes in the way of a professional carrying out their duty, and that's one reason why I decided to do this project," says Prateik.

"Corruption exists everywhere, but it's increasing by the day and it's only the middle class and the poor who suffer. With Mulk, I realised cinema is the fastest way to create awareness and I would like to also pursue projects that are just not commercial and mainstream."

Apart from the web series, Prateik will also be seen in a negative role in Nitesh Tiwari's Chichore, which also features Shraddha Kapoor and Sushant Singh Rajput.
