New Update
Creators in movies 2023

The only transition that mattered this year was creators transitioning from making parodies to playing an original character onscreen. This list of creators in movies and shows is everything!

If anything, 2023 was a huge year for Indian content creators because most of them took “picture abhi baki hai..” too seriously. The creators’ filmography has only become diverse with them getting a chance to share the screen with the knowhows of the industry. There was never a doubt that content creators could act and anyone following their content would agree to it. These creators are well-versed with the kind of characters they want to talk about and the stories they wish to share. The audience was met with diversity in that aspect and watching them be someone else on a bigger screen was a lovely surprise for many. From mere cameos to being an impactful part of the entire movie, these creators have set a new bar for the community this year.
