MUMBAI: Sharib Hashmi, known for his roles in The Family Man, Fighter, Tarla, Vikram Vedha, and many more, is gearing up for his upcoming film, Malhar, which is set to be released in theaters on June 7th.

Written and directed by Vishal Kumbhar and produced by Praful Pasad, the film also stars Rishi Saxena, Anjali Patil, Shrinivas Pokale, Mohammad Samad, and Akshata Acharya in pivotal roles.

Talking about his role in the film, Hashmi says, "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 mentions, "The story is based in Kutch, so I had to learn the Kutchhi 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."

Speaking about his working experience, he says, "The experience was great. Vishal 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."

Talking about the film's unique selling point, he says, "The story itself is it. I want this story to be seen by everyone and reach as many people as possible. It's very relevant for today's time, shedding light on many issues. The story is told in a beautiful and entertaining way."
