Aditya Rawal, one of Hindi Cinema’s most promising young talents, has built a reputation for choosing challenging material over safer, surface-level roles. With Daldal, that very instinct was put to the test. In the upcoming psychological crime thriller, Aditya plays Sajid, a man caught between dependency and destruction, whose proximity to a string of violent acts raises more questions than it answers. Ahead of Daldal’s release, the actor reflects on the hesitation he felt before committing to one of the ‘most difficult characters’ of his career. 

Aditya Rawal on committing to Daldal

Revealing how his initial hesitation became the clearest sign that the role was worth taking on, Aditya Rawal shares, “I’ll be honest, there was a moment of hesitation. Daldal is dark, uncomfortable, and emotionally demanding, and I wasn’t sure at first if I was ready to go that far. But when Amrit narrated the story, it stayed with me. I went home thinking that opportunities like this don’t come often, where characters that genuinely scare you and force you to understand parts of the world you haven’t yet.
