Mumbai, Feb 28 (NationPress) Shashank Arora is preparing for the launch of his forthcoming movie, Superboys of Malegaon. The actor will portray a real individual named Shafique in this drama.
Reflecting on his role, Shashank Arora expressed a touching message for Shafique's daughters.
He stated, “Shafique, the character I embody in Superboys of Malegaon, passed away years ago. I hope his two daughters watch the film and take pride in the remarkable and diligent man their father was. When I was offered this part and read the script, I felt an immediate connection. Portraying Shafique was much more than just acting; his loyalty to his friends is extraordinary and deserves to be highlighted, and I’m incredibly thankful to have been included in this project.”
Moreover, Adarsh Gourav, also part of the film's main cast, shared how he minimized public attention during the filming.
During an interview with IANS, he mentioned that he acquired clothing similar to that of the person the film is based on, Nasir Sheikh.
Adarsh Gourav remarked, “In preparation for the film, I traveled to Malegaon. I remember taking only 2 or 3 articles of clothing with me. On the first day, we went shopping. Nasir bhai got me a shirt, pants, and slippers from Kidwai Road. I wore the same pants and slippers for the following 15 days. The locals in Malegaon didn’t even recognize me, which worked to my advantage as I wished to avoid being in the spotlight. Nasir bhai and I would just sit together and discuss our lives and our beginnings, with Nasir bhai sharing more than I did.”
Superboys of Malegaon follows the journey of an aspiring filmmaker, Nasir, who rallies his friends to create a film for their hometown, Malegaon.
Directed by Reema Kagti, Superboys of Malegaon features Shashank Arora in the lead role, alongside Adarsh Gourav, Vineet Kumar Singh, and Anuj Singh Duhan in key roles.
This project draws inspiration from the documentary Supermen of Malegaon.
Produced by Excel Entertainment, Superboys of Malegaon is slated for release on February 28, 2025.
