Actor Sharib Hashmi, who portrays a tourist guide in the movie 'Malhar', shared that he had to learn the Kutchi dialect for the role.
Talking about his character in the film, Sharib said: "My character is a tourist guide named Mohan. He's a sweet guy who tries to speak in broken English with foreign tourists. I really liked the character."
Regarding the preparations and challenges he faced, he shared: "The story is based in Kutch, so I had to learn the Kutchi dialect for the role. Yes, the movie is dubbed in Marathi, and I've done that too. These were the preparations I made during the filming."
Sharib, who is known for his role in 'The Family Man', shared: "The experience was great. Director Vishal Kumbhar, is great. I always enjoy working with first-time directors."
"They have so much energy and are willing to do everything because this is the first time they're showcasing their work. I saw all of that in Vishal. He has beautifully written the script, and I'm very proud of him. Though I don't have a big role in the film, it's an anthology with three stories, and I'm in one of them," he said.
Sharib hopes this story reaches a wide audience and is seen by everyone.
"It's very relevant for today's time, shedding light on many issues. The story is told in a beautiful and entertaining way," he added.
