Talking about his role in his next, Shashank Arora shared a heartfelt message for the daughters of Shafique.
He shared, “Shafique, the character I play in Superboys Of Malegaon, passed away years ago. I hope his two daughters see the film and feel proud of what an amazing and hardworking man their father was. When I was approached for this role and read the script, it instantly connected with me. Playing the role of Shafique was much more than just portraying a character. His loyalty towards his friends is amazing and worth showcasing, and I’m beyond grateful to have been a part of this."
Adding on, Adarsh Gourav, who is also a part of the film's core cast, revealed how he avoided public attention while shooting for the film.
Speaking to IANS, he shared that he got himself a pair of clothes with the man on whom the film is based, Nasir Sheikh.
Adarsh Gourav shared, “When I was prepping for the film, I went to Malegaon. I remember I carried only 2 or 3 pieces of clothes with me. We went on the first day and did the shopping. Nasir bhai got me a shirt, pants, and slippers from Kidwai Road. I wore the same pants and slippers for the next 15 days that I was there. The people in Malegaon didn't even recognise me, it worked in my favour because I didn't want to draw any attention. Nasir bhai and I would just sit and talk about our lives. And about how we started. And more from Nasir bhai’s side than mine”.
