Actor Siddhaarth Mishra, known for his role in ‘Gullak 4’, shared insights on preparing for his character Dr. Prithvi in ‘Gullak 5’. Director Abhat Raut gave him a specific brief for the role, asking him to draw inspiration from Hrithik Roshan’s character in ‘Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara’.
Siddhaarth mentioned that his character brief was to emulate Hrithik Roshan’s tone and tenor but not to copy him entirely. Dr. Prithvi, a highly ambitious character, faces personal challenges due to his intense focus on success, as depicted in the final episode of ‘Gullak 5’.
The actor revealed that script-reading sessions helped him delve deeper into Dr. Prithvi’s persona beyond the written dialogues. He highlighted Dr. Prithvi’s traits as a cleanliness and health enthusiast, citing a specific dialogue from the show’s first scene.
Siddhaarth added a nuanced character detail not originally in the script, showing Dr. Prithvi’s germ-conscious behavior by opening doors with his elbow. This addition enhanced the character’s portrayal, emphasizing his fitness-oriented nature and reactions to food choices in the series.
