Actor Aditya Rawal is less than half a dozen acting projects old, across film and streaming. And yet, in this time, he has played a killer, a terrorist, and a gangster, all with panache. In his latest outing – Amazon Prime Video’s Daldal – the young actor plays a ‘reluctant’ serial killer. Talking to Hindustan Times about his choice of ‘dark’ roles, Aditya opens up on typecasting, privilege, and more.
Aditya Rawal on Daldal
From Faraaz to Bambai Meri Jaan and now Daldal, Aditya has made complex, twisted, negative characters his own. Talking about the supposed trend, he says, “One feels they don’t want to be typecast. But for a young actor who is just starting out, it’s important to realise, if you are getting such roles, it is because you have shown your skill, the fact that you have been able to play roles that are challenging.” Ask him if he gets offended by being offered such twisted roles so frequently, and Aditya laughs. “I certainly don’t get offended when anybody offers me anything.”
