Adarsh Gourav reflected recently on his role in his next film Tu Yaa Main and said that it demands a different approach from what he has done before. He plays a small-town social media influencer in the Bejoy Nambiar directorial which also stars Shanaya Kapoor.

Speaking about his process of transformation for his roles, Adarsh said, “Every role demands a different version of me, and that’s what excites me the most. Whether it’s Dhruv in Rukh, Balram Halwai in The White Tiger, or Jugnu in Guns & Gulaabs, I have always aimed to bring authenticity to the screen. That means reshaping my physicality, altering my mannerisms, and deeply understanding the psyche of the person I’m portraying."

He added, “For Tu Yaa Main, I’m stepping into the shoes of a small-town social media influencer—a role that demands an entirely different approach. I never want to repeat myself. That’s my biggest fear as an actor. If I look and feel the same in every film, I am not doing justice to the craft. The joy of acting lies in the transformation, in disappearing so completely into a character that the audience forgets the actor behind it. That’s my goal every single time.”

The actor was recently seen in Reema Kagti’s Superboys of Malegaon which released in theatres on February 28.
