Adarsh
Gourav
received
global
critical
acclaim
for
his
performance
in
the
Netflix
film,
The
White
Tiger.
While
fans
have
been
waiting
for
the
actor's
Bollywood
feature
debut,
reports
have
revealed
that
Gourav
has
been
roped
in
to
play
one
of
the
leads
in
Zoya
Akhtar's
next
venture.
The
filmmaker
and
actor
are
yet
to
confirm
the
news,
but
a
source
told
Bollywood
Hungama
that
"Gourav
has
been
getting
a
lot
of
offers
from
mainstream
Hindi
film
producers
who
were
all
along
ignoring
him
until
the
West
recognized
his
talent.
After
The
White
Tiger,
Bollywood
wants
Gourav."
The
source
said
that
Adarsh
has
been
offered
many
roles
since
The
White
Tiger,
"But
most
of
the
roles
that
he's
getting
are
negative
and
he
doesn't
want
to
be
typecast
in
any
particular
shade."
Since
the
project
details
are
still
under
wraps,
it
is
unclear
what
kind
of
role
Adarsh
will
be
seen
in
the
upcoming
project.
The
source
said
that
it
will
give
him
a
chance
to
expand
his
performing
skills.
"It's
a
role
as
dynamic
as
Siddharth
Chaturvedi
in
Zoya's
Gully
Boy,"
source
was
quoted
as
saying.
For
the
unversed,
Adarsh
Gourav's
performance
in
Ramin
Bahrani's
Netflix
film
also
landed
him
three
lead
actor
nominations,
including
the
BAFTA
in
2021.
Talking
about
fans'
response
and
the
nominations,
Adarsh
had
said
in
a
statement,
"The
response
has
been
phenomenal.
It
is
more
than
anything
I'd
expected.
It
is
crazy
reading
your
name
next
to
such
legends
and
actors
who
have
been
your
heroes
while
growing
up
and
whose
body
of
work
you
have
watched
repeatedly."
Notably,
The
White
Tiger
which
was
a
Netflix
adaptation
of
Aravind
Adiga's
2008
novel
of
the
same
name,
also
starred
Priyanka
Chopra
and
Rajkummar
Rao
in
pivotal
roles.
The
film
had
also
landed
several
nominations
including
The
Academy
Award
for
best
adaptive
screenplay.
