Web sensation Mithila Palkar, who will be seen in a road trip movie next, talks about her co-star
Calling Irrfan a “fighter”, Mithila Palkar says something feels “incomplete” as the team of their latest film Karwaan hits the promotion spree. The promotional responsibilities have fallen on her and Dulquer Salmaan’s shoulders as their co-star is undergoing treatment for neuroendocrine tumour in London.
“It was extremely heartbreaking to hear this (Irrfan’s illness) but all our love and prayers are with him. He is a fighter. Hope we see him soon. He brings the most vibrant and refreshing flavour to the film,” she says.
After making her debut in Hindi cinema with Nikkhil Advani’s Katti Batti in 2015, Mithila will be sharing screen space with Irrfan and Dulquer for the first time in the road-trip film, which is helmed by Akarsh Khurana. For the young actress, working alongside the seasoned actors was a huge opportunity.
“It took me a while to understand that I was acting with them. I had to pinch and remind myself that I am their co-actor. Initially, it was intimidating. There was a little bit of a pressure but they put me at ease. The minute we were on the sets it all went away. I was in awe of them,” exclaims the 25-year-old.
In the film, she plays a 19-year-old feisty, confident girl, who has a practical approach towards life. Prior to the film, Mithila acted in the Marathi film Muramba and a web series titled Girl In The City, apart from featuring in a few TV commercials.
Mithila insists she never started her acting career with the aim of being a part of Bollywood. “I just wanted to be an actor. I was hoping for opportunities to work. I wanted to make the most of whatever came my way. I was auditioning, but nothing seemed to be working out. This film was meant for me,” signs off the chirpy actress.
