Dhruv Vikram on Mahaan: I wanted to make my father proud

The actor noted that he fully appreciated the opportunity the film offered him and he was very devoted to the movie right from the beginning. “Karthik sir’s script has so much detail that you can feed off it. I have seen all of Appa’s movies. I have admired him as a fan. I wanted to do justice to him and make him feel proud. I thought I shouldn’t imitate my father. At the same time, I should make both Appa and Karthik sir happy.”

Being the son of one of the finest actors in the country, Dhruv didn’t have to look far to learn the methods of acting. “I study all my father’s films and then ask him questions about them. He’s a fine thinking actor. He knows what to do to convince the audience. In this film especially, I noticed that Appa and Bobby (Simha) managed to feed off each other’s energy. The friendship they have in real life is reflected on the screen. Appa’s acting methods are constantly evolving. And in this film, he lived as Gandhi Mahaan,” he remarked.

“For me, this is a dream come true moment. No matter how many films I would do in my life, this will be my most special one. I gave my soul to the character,” he added.

Vikram also shared Dhruv’s sentiments and he was very confident about Mahaan clicking with the audience. “We don’t know when Dhruv and I will work together again. And I thank Karthik for giving us this opportunity. It will always be a special film in our hearts,” he said.

Mahaan will premiere on Amazon Prime Video on February 10.
