Saad Bilgrami from ‘Dhadak 2’ is receiving attention for his portrayal of the antagonist. In an interview, he discussed his experiences filming the movie, getting a role in a Dharma film, and more.
Saad shared his gratitude for the positive response to ‘Dhadak 2,’ including support from prominent celebrities. He highlighted his aspirations to work in the film industry and the joy he felt when Ishaan Khattar and Anurag Kashyap acknowledged his work on social media. He described this as a significant achievement, especially for someone from a small town.
Saad said he initially auditioned for a different role in ‘Dhadak 2’, before being offered the antagonist’s part. Securing a role in a Dharma Productions film was a significant moment for him.
He recalled his first visit to the Dharma office, recalling the emotional impact of seeing images of Shah Rukh Khan and Amitabh Bachchan.
Saad also praised director Shazia Iqbal for her warm welcome. He shared that she confirmed his casting immediately and inquired about his comfort level, demonstrating her humble and generous approach.
Saad also acknowledged the emotionally demanding nature of some scenes in ‘Dhadak 2.’ He spoke about scenes where he had to humiliate people, particularly older individuals, and those with Triptii Dimri, which involved physical altercations. He mentioned constantly apologizing to her, but she assured him it was not necessary.
He shared that there were other scenes where he had to urinate on Siddhant Chaturvedi and also remove the clothes of the actor who played his father, to humiliate them. These scenes were really hard-hitting while performing. After coming home, he spoke to his partner and cried a lot. Earlier, he used to wonder why actors cry after performing some scenes, and now I understand why.
Saad complimented his co-stars, Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri, who were working together for the first time. He expressed his admiration for Siddhant and his work in ‘Gully Boy’ and also noted that Triptii is a big star, and they both showed him generosity.
Saad’s career serves as an inspiration for aspiring actors in Mumbai. Before ‘Dhadak 2,’ he worked on ‘Gullak,’ ‘Panchayat Season 3,’ ‘Ghar Waapsi,’ ‘Hostel Daze,’ and ‘Khuda Haafiz 2.’
