Adarsh Gourav, known for his dynamic performances, has revealed his eventual aspiration is to step behind the camera and direct films. While he has already made a mark as an actor, Adarsh’s passion for filmmaking extends beyond just being in front of the lens. His latest role in Superboys of Malegaon, where he portrays a character inspired by real-life filmmaker Nasir Shaikh, has further fuelled his desire to explore all aspects of the craft in the future, when the time is right for the actor.
About his filmmaking ambitions and his experience portraying Nasir Shaikh, Adarsh shared, “Storytelling has always fascinated me, not just as an actor but as a creative force in its entirety. I’ve always been drawn to the world behind the camera—the process of building a narrative, shaping characters, and visually bringing emotions to life. My desire has always been to explore all aspects of creative arts, and directing is a natural step in that journey. I want to explore all avenues of acting first and direction I feel will be a natural course”.
Adarsh added, “Working on Superboys of Malegaon has been an eye-opening experience. Nasir Shaikh’s story is one of sheer passion—he creates cinema with minimal resources but maximum heart. Watching how he navigates filmmaking, with limited budgets, local actors and raw talent, has been incredibly inspiring. It reminded me that cinema is not just about grand sets and massive productions, but at its core, it’s about storytelling and the emotions it evokes.”
