There are characters that come to you once in a lifetime, and Girgit from 'Radhe: Your Most Wanted Bhai' is just that to actor Gautam Gulati. The actor has been winning applauds for his menacing act in the film, starring Salman Khan, Disha Patani and Randeep Hooda, which released on May 13.

Incidentally, all of Gautam's favourite characters so far have been the ones that are out-and-out negative or the ones that have negative shades. Therefore, when Girgit came his way, he knew exactly what nuances to add in order to enhance the character further. Such as the smile, something that can be so genuine but in the case of a negative role, it must give you chills down your spine and that is exactly what Girgit succeeds in doing.

"I watched several shows on OTT platforms just to gauge how to nail the negative character shades, right from the look to the expressions and more. Then, I added my own shades to Girgit along with Salman sir's conviction and that is how the character was brought to life," he says.

The actor adds that he also trained extensively for the action scenes. "The tattoo and haircut were also conceptualised and decided by Salman sir, and I am glad we followed it to the T. The action scenes did require a lot of training, sometimes from morning to night," he says.
'Radhe: Your Most Wanted Bhai' released recently on a digital pay-per-view platform in India.
