Word is already out that Bengali siren Paoli Dam’s new film revolves across the actress seeking revenge from a person (played by Gulshan Devaiah) who had once wronged her.
Now we hear that Nikhil Dwivedi, who plays Paoli’s close friend within the film was actually offered Gulshan’s role first.
Apparently, the Shor Within the City actor declined the role because it required him to do many explicitly intimate scenes with Paoli.
We ask him if he refused the offer because he didn’t wish to offend his then- fiancée Gaurie, Nikhil declines to comment, maintaining, “As an actor, I’m pleased with the scope for performance my character gave me.”
Surprisingly, the actor himself is missing from the various publicity posters of the film because the promotion is concentrated more on Paoli than anyone else. Nikhil brushes it off saying, “That’s because her character is the selling point of the story.”
We wonder whether he's getting a raw deal within the film and Nikhil dismisses it, mentioning that the crux of the film is ready Paoli seeking revenge.
“I’m playing her close friend who secretly loves her. I’m pleased with the way Vikram’s (Bhatt) script has shaped up. And Vivek’s (Agnihotri, director) aesthetic sense of shooting, ” he says enthusiastically.
