Mumbai, Nov 13 (NationPress) Vijay Varma is poised to appear on screen as Nawabuddin in the upcoming romantic film "Gustaakh Ishq - Kucch Pehle Jaisa".
At the recent trailer launch event for the film, Vijay expressed his thoughts upon first encountering the "Gustaakh Ishq" script.
“Upon receiving the script, I felt it embraced the simple pleasures of life - it was as delightful as honey,” he shared.
Considering Vijay's limited experience in romantic roles, he was taken aback when he received the movie offer.
He noted, “I was curious about how this script landed in my hands! But I recognized a part of me that hadn't been explored yet. This is the brilliance of a producer and director; they don’t just replicate what’s been done before, but strive to convey something fresh, presenting new ideas. That’s how actors get the chance to demonstrate their versatility. I’m fortunate that people have trusted me with diverse characters.”
Vijay further mentioned that the narrative resonated deeply with him.
“As I read the script, it resonated profoundly. There’s an intriguing romance between me and Fatima, but also a unique bond with Naseeruddin Shah sir, portraying a teacher-student relationship. It reflects a significant connection,” he elaborated.
The 'Mirzapur' star emphasized how "Gustaakh Ishq" diverges from today's grand narratives. He remarked, “The film is filled with romance, tenderness, authenticity, and a raw, unique passion and struggle for existence. It’s incredibly heartfelt. I cannot wait to share it with audiences. This film is rich in sweetness. Iss film me bahot bada kuch nahi hota hai. (Nothing too grand occurs in this film.) I believe we have grown accustomed to viewing something spectacular, whether it’s explosive or murderous.”
Co-starring Naseeruddin Shah and Fatima Sana Shaikh, "Gustaakh Ishq" is set to hit theaters on 28th November.
