MUMBAI:Actor and comedian Appurv Gupta has been grabbing the attention of the fans with his beautiful comedy. He is now all set to make his Bollywood debut with the upcoming movie Afwaah, which has Bhumi Pednekar and Nawazuddin Siddiqui in lead roles.

The trailer of the movie has been grabbing the attention of the fans. During the exclusive interaction with Tallychakkar, here's what the actor had to say on his Bollywood Debut.

What do you have to say about your character in Afwaah?

Appurv Gupta says, "The character is very shady and self-centred. He is not selfish, but simultaneously he also knows when to enter and exit from any deal. He is very smart when it comes to handling social media."

He adds, "The character kind of represents social media. It is extremely powerful but if used for the wrong purposes, it can have disastrous results. It is a very important character which will decide the storyline of the movie. So, I am happy that I am able to play an pivotal role in it".

What made you to make a Bollywood debut with this movie?

Appurv Gupta says, "I wanted to do a Bollywood movie for quite some time, but didn't want to debut with a comic movie because people have already seen my funny side. Hence, I was very keen to do a serious one where people could see a different side of me. When I got a chance to work under the direction of Sudhir Mishra sir, it was like a dream come true and the role is very appealing to me. So, all these things helped me to debut with Afwaah!

How was the shooting experience?

The actor says, "The experience is quite different, interesting and amazing! I have done more than 2500 stand-up comedy shows all over the world, but movie production is totally different. The first movie is always special. I didn't know that a single scene on a big screen takes the effort of 200 + people. We generally see actors, but there are so many teams who work so hard to create that scene. We were shooting at night in heavy rains, but everyone knew that we had to complete the scene before morning. I am amazed and inspired by everyone's dedication. This experience will certainly help me in my professional career in future".
