Dhadak, the tragic love story that is roaring over the box office have newcomers Ishaan Khatter and Janhvi Kapoor who are getting the appraisal on their first project only. Shridhar Watsar the actor who portrayed Purshottam, the best friend of Madhukar(Ishaan) have also received a huge round of applause for his role in the movie.
He described his character to Indian Express as “I play Purshottam, who is Madhukar’s (Ishaan) best friend. They are a gang of three, along with Gokul (Ankit Bisht). More than friends, they are like brothers. The two friends are witness to the growing love between Madhukar and Parthavi (Janhvi). And in the second half, when all hell breaks loose on the lovers, the friends face the angst too. Along with a beautiful love story, the audience will also get to see an unconditional bond of friendship in Dhadak.”
The actor who is facing various problem due to being a vertically challenged person showed his disappointment towards the thinking of India’s people for the disability. He expressed that “ India is yet to accept differently abled people. Look at the way Peter Dinklage, the Game of Thrones star has managed to build his career. We are way behind. I am appreciated for my acting skills on stage, but I still get calls for caricaturish comedy roles or just plain unsubstantial roles. I am 4-feet, but I am no less of an actor. I want to play all kinds of roles and I hope the industry manages to give us good roles.”
Shridhar also stated the work done by Aanand L Rai and Shah Rukh Khan as a favorable project for him as it will change public’s perception towards the physically challenged people. He said: “I am so happy that Anand L Rai and Shah Rukh Khan have decided to make Zero. The audience will finally get to see what a vertically challenged person goes through. We are normal people, so why shouldn’t we be treated equally. I am really looking forward to its release. Zero will surely change the perception of people. Also, I am sure it will open up new doors for me.”
Notably, the SRK’s upcoming movie ‘Zero’ will reveal him as a dwarf. Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma will be the other lead role in the movie.
