Actor Kartik Aaryan talks about his movie Dhamaka that was released on Netflix, this Friday. In the movie, he plays the role of a journalist and goes through various ups and downs in his career as well as his personal life.
While talking about his movie and character to Times of India, he said, “Dhamaka is the most challenging film of my career, and Arjun Pathak is the most difficult character that I have played. In reality, I’m a very high-spirited person, so when I did a few of my previous films, which were in the romcom space, I felt slightly more comfortable. However, Dhamaka pushed me to expand my boundaries as an actor. I play the role of a journalist, so my prep had definitely increased and was more detailed. I studied the lives of news reporters and watched various documentaries for a better understanding. It was also during the lockdown, so that gave me that time to get into this character deeply. Arjun’s character is layered and intense, so I really worked to live him in every way possible.”
Further, he gave his views on the response of people who have watched the movie before the release. He said, “I am very happy about the response that we have received so far, but yes, there is slight nervousness too, because I have worked extremely hard for this role, and I hope the audiences enjoy watching it as much as we enjoyed making it for them.”
The cast also includes Mrunal Thakur, Amruta Subash and Vikas Kumar.
