Shashank Arora has managed to create a space for himself as an actor with mindful choices of critically acclaimed films that have allowed him to collaborate with noted filmmakers like Kanu Bahl, Alankrita Srivastava, Nandita Das, Zoya Akhtar, and Sudhir Mishra.

Asked how collaborating with the right kind of director plays a part in his film choices, Shashank told OTTplay, "It is very important for me. I do not want to make a painting with people who do not like to paint but just want to sell the painting. What is the point of spending time with people who are not interested in my art? If I want to make money, I will open a shop and run a business. Cinema is also a form of art and a collaborative medium. I look for people with a childish joy in telling stories and making films. For me, what matters most is why someone is making a film: is it to tell a story or just to make money?"

The actor will soon be seen in the upcoming season of the web series Made In Heaven and the Vidya Balan-starrer film Neeyat.

Speaking about his other projects, the actor added, "Apart from these two projects, I am also working on another film that has Manisha Koirala, Zoya Hussain, and Neeraj Kabi in it. I am very excited to work with these wonderful actors."
