Nikitin Dheer, known for his commanding screen presence, is set to make his mark in Punjabi cinema with his debut in the upcoming film ‘Akaal.’ He will share the screen with the renowned Gippy Grewal, bringing his unique intensity to the Punjabi film industry. In a chat, Nikitin shares more about the film!
The Akaal teaser has shown a different side to you, so what can we expect from the film?
With every film I take on, I try and work on my character with great precision to be able to add more than what one envisions. When I was given the narration I knew it was something that I had to take up, and also had my mind working on how could I bring the character to life in the best possible way.
I have given my best to the film, I tried to bring in a new character to life, something I have not portrayed or attempted earlier.. So I sincerely hope people like it.
How was your equation with Gippy Grewal ?
It was fun working with Gippy paa ji, he treated me like a brother and hence we have literally breezed through the most intense scenes. I have learnt a lot from him as an artist and I hope the bond we share only grows.
Does working in a different industry come with its own set of challenges?
Not really, with the ever growing need for good cinema be it in any language, we as actors today travel the length and breadth of not just India but even abroad for work, so the only thing that changes is the language, rest everything stays the same. The scale of Akaal is as big as a Hindi film and in some comparisons even bigger.
What is next from you, apart from Akaal?
Akaal and Housefull 5 I have shot for already, so these two you shall see soon. Other than thisI have a few interesting projects coming up. I am really looking forward to them.
Rather superstitious to make any announcements just yet. I just sincerely hope and pray that good work comes my way and I do justice to all of it. Keep showering your love and blessings.
Wishing Nikitin Dheer the best for Akaal and his other upcoming projects!
