Gearing up for the cricket drama Selection Day, Akshay Oberoi on straddling movies and web, and how an actor's life is plagued by insecurity

Akshay Oberoi
You've been roped in for the cricket drama, Selection Day. Aren't you worried about comparisons with Amazon Prime's Emmy-nominated Inside Edge?
Selection Day is based on Aravind Adiga's book [by the same name] and was the second Netflix original to be sanctioned. I haven't seen Inside Edge, but I know it's about how Indian Premier League [IPL] started and the chaos behind it. Selection Day is about two 16- and 14-year olds, who aspire to become the next big thing in cricket. I play their manager. The show is about relationships, dreams and aspirations.
You also have Law and Honour in the pipeline.
It's like Suits, with glamour and style. Law and Honour sees me as a lawyer and depicts the Indian law system. It's produced by the Test Case producer Samar Khan, so I didn't think twice before giving my nod. The cases in the show are thoroughly researched. This will be a promising show, thanks to the star cast that includes Satyadeep Mishra, Piyush Mishra and Neha Sharma.
