Mumbai’s rising star Adarsh Gourav, fresh off a BAFTA nomination, is set to captivate audiences in the upcoming thriller ‘Tu Ya Main’, directed by the acclaimed Bijoy Nambiar. In an exclusive interview, Gourav shared his exhilaration about the project, describing films like this as more than mere performances—they’re profound, immersive experiences that redefine acting.
Gourav emphasized his passion for high-concept stories that blend innovative ideas with emotional depth. ‘I gravitate towards scripts that transport you to new worlds, challenging conventions and sparking creativity,’ he said. This selective approach has defined his career, from his breakout roles to international acclaim.
Produced by Anand L Rai under Color Yellow Productions, alongside Himanshu Sharma, Vinod Bhanushali, and Kamlesh Bhanushali, ‘Tu Ya Main’ stars Shanaya Kapoor opposite Gourav. The film offers a fresh take on love and survival, promising edge-of-your-seat tension. It hits theaters on February 13, marking a significant milestone for the ensemble.
Reflecting on his journey, Gourav recalled his early days training in Hindustani classical music and debuting as a child artist in ‘My Name Is Khan’ alongside Shah Rukh Khan. His portrayal of Balram Halwai in ‘The White Tiger’ earned him BAFTA and Independent Spirit Award nominations for Best Lead Actor, cementing his global reputation.
Prime Video’s ‘Made in Heaven’ further showcased his versatility as Balram Menon. Gourav’s commitment to experimental storytelling continues with ‘Tu Ya Main’, where he pushes boundaries. ‘These projects fuel my creative growth, allowing me to explore uncharted territories in acting,’ he added.
As Bollywood evolves, stars like Gourav are bridging commercial appeal with artistic innovation. ‘Tu Ya Main’ isn’t just a film; it’s a testament to bold narratives thriving in Indian cinema. Fans eagerly await how Gourav’s nuanced performance will unfold on the big screen.
