Actor Adarsh Gourav, who was recently seen in Tu Yaa Main, has said that people should give such films “a chance to show what we’ve done with” it. Speaking with Zoom, Adarsh said that the film has been “very intelligently adapted and written and developed by Bejoy Nambiar and Abhishek Bandekar, adding that its “important that people watch smaller commercial films.”
Adarsh Gourav says people want to watch big ticket films
Adarsh talked about the pattern the audience follows when watching films. “People want to go only for big ticket films post the pandemic. They want films like Animal, Border 2 or Dhurandhar. At the same time, I also feel like people need to show up in certain numbers for these films (smaller films). I’m not saying that these films should make an insane amount of money, but if they continue making big losses, then it discourages producers from experimenting with stories at all. Then all you will get to see is big films with big stars,” he said.
While Animal has been headlined by Ranbir Kapoor, Ranveer Singh starred in Dhurandhar. Sunny Deol, Varun Dhawan, Diljit Dosanjh, Ahan Shetty, Mona Singh, Sonam Bajwa, and Anya Singh featured in Border 2.
Adarsh talks about actors like himself
The actor continued, “Where will actors like me go? Where will the new actors go? OTT platforms also now have similar considerations. So, I feel like people will not be disappointed when they go for this. In fact, 9 out of 10 people who’ve written to me told me that they had a preconceived notion about the film. But when they watched it, it changed.”
