Actor Aditya Thakare, who has made his film debut with the recently released film ‘Dhadak 2’, has shared that getting selected for the part was a moment of joy and blessing. The actor said that he got the offer for the film when he was at a Ganpati Visarjan with his friends.
The actor recently spoke with IANS and shared that before ‘Dhadak 2’ happened to him, things were quite “dry” for him professionally.
He told IANS, “‘Dhadak 2’ came to me as a blessing in disguise. At the time, things were quite dry professionally; not much was moving. One day I got an audition call, and I rushed without thinking twice. I still remember the day I found out I was selected; it was during Ganesh Chaturthi 2023. I was at Ganpati Visarjan with my friends when I got the call. It felt like Bappa’s blessing, truly.”
When asked about his preparations for the part, the actor said, “After getting selected, I didn’t have a lot of time to get into heavy dialect training, so my main focus was on getting the local lingo right, and what better way than spending time with locals and interacting with them? They’re the ones who teach you so much, not just about the language, but also the body language of that particular region, which is equally important when you’re portraying a character from a specific place. So, I started spending time at spots like Rajju Tea Stall in Bhopal, casually chatting with strangers, absorbing their rhythm, expressions, and body language to get into the skin of the character. I also included a lot of my real-life funny friends into Vasu’s personality. It was about making him feel real, like someone you already know.”
He also shared his experience of working with Tripti Dimri and Siddhant Chaturvedi in the film, as he told IANS, “At first, I was in full fan mode, keeping my distance and being extra respectful. I’ve admired Siddhant since Gully Boy and Triptii since Qala. But I think the Bhopal schedule changed everything. We shot there for nearly two months, and I’m someone who thrives on those chill evening hangouts, laughing over random stuff. Triptii and Siddhant started joining in, and we would end up staying up late even with early morning shoots. That camaraderie translated into real chemistry on screen. I feel lucky to call such talented (and extremely good-looking) people my friends.”
