Siddhant Chaturvedi opens up about the response to his character Imaad that he has been getting ever since his film ‘Kho Gaye Hum Kahan’ was released on Netflix. The film has touched upon some tough topics and presented it really well.
Siddhant Chaturvedi has been garnering a lot of praise for his latest release ‘Kho Gaye Hum Kahan’. The film, which talks about urban loneliness through the eyes of 3 young adults in the city of Mumbai, has been talked about a lot for the brilliant way in which it explores such complex topics. Siddhant Chaturvedi has also spoken up about how much admiration he has been getting since the film hit Netflix.
“My phone has been constantly ringing since the day before. The film was released sometime around 01:30 pm and since almost 04:00 pm my phone hasn’t stopped ringing. Initially, I wasn’t checking my phone as it was giving me anxiety, because there are so many messages to reply to. But the reactions are making me feel better,” says Siddhant Chaturvedi.
Adding on to the kind of roles that he has played till now and how ‘Kho Gaye Hum Kahan’ is strikingly different, Siddhant Chaturvedi says, “Till now I have done characters who have been older than me and I wanted to play a character of almost my age and ‘Kho Gaye Hum Kahan’ has given me that chance with Imaad.”
With such a changeover, things must have been tough for Siddhant Chaturvedi. “Playing this character was challenging and tough. It was a bit of a roller coaster because I never thought I would be able to justify something as a character which I haven’t gone through. I was a little scared of the standup bits. Those are difficult to perform,” concludes the young actor.
Besides Siddhant Chaturvedi, ‘Kho Gaye Hum Kahan’ also stars Adarsh Gourav and Ananya Panday in lead roles. The film has been streaming on Netflix India since Boxing Day.
