Gaurav Gera on keeping Aalam’s mystery alive
Speaking to Hindustan Times, Gaurav said he ignored calls, not because of the fear of the non-disclosure agreement (NDA), but the for the kind of love that Dhurandhar 2 has. “I didn’t want to spoil it. If you give up the important parts of the film, the fun goes, and for such a film jismein logon ne itni jaan lagayi hai, I felt responsible for it,” he said.
The Dhurandhar 2 actor further reflected on the most challenging part of maintaining secrecy after Dhurandhar was released in cinemas. Since Gaurav lives with his parents, it was tough to hide it from them.
“Mummy toh abhi bhi bolti hain ki ‘tune to bas bola thha ki juice waale ka role hai’. I also donned a white beard, and many people may have thought that I didn’t have any work,” he added.
