Scam 1992 actor Pratik Gandhi has begun shooting for his next, Atithi Bhooto Bhava, co-starring Jackie Shroff and Malaal (2019) actor Sharmin Segal. Helmed by Hardik Gajjar and produced by Jayantilal Gada, the unit began shooting in Mathura on Thursday. “This unique love story will be a learning experience as I am working with Jackie Shroff,” says Gandhi, who has grown up watching Jaggu dada’s films. The team will also be filming in Gwalior.
The engineer-turned-actor had been dabbling in theatre since 2005 before graduating to Gujarati cinema. With a mainstream Hindi offering in the Hansal Mehta-directed series, he found himself commanding the attention of a pan-India audience. “The web has created a new [avenue] for actors like us. Now, the audience is looking for actors who can create different characters; they are no longer chasing stars. If you see the nominees in the best actor category across different award galas, you will notice that there are no [famous] last names.”

He acknowledges that filmmakers’ approach towards him has changed, too. “I am being approached for mainstream films and web series. I am being considered seriously as an actor. I have learnt through experience that nobody is interested in your struggles; they are only interested in your success,” reflects Gandhi, adding that the audience love makes all the difference. “I am currently shooting in Gir forest. I had never thought people here would have watched the series. But they recognised me, and the kids know the show’s dialogues.”
