Tarun Gahlot was recently seen in Raid 2 in the role of Chote. This is his third venture with Ajay Devgn and he has previously worked with the talented actor in Rudra – The Edge Of Darkness (2022) and Bholaa (2023). He also features in Ajay’s upcoming romcom, De De Pyaar De 2, the much-awaited sequel to De De Pyaar De (2019). In an exclusive interview with Bollywood Hungama, he opened up about his film.
EXCLUSIVE: Raid 2 actor Tarun Gahlot opens up on what to expect from Ajay Devgn-starrer De De Pyaar De 2: “DOUBLE dose of entertainment, comedy, drama; it’s going to be an AMAZING film; it was the most RELAXED shoot ever…”
Tarun Gahlot began by saying, “I can’t say much. The film has shaped up well, and is in the same zone as Luv Ranjan sir’s other films.”
When asked what we can expect, he replied, “It has a double dose of entertainment, comedy and drama. It’s going to be an amazing film. I am confident that people are going to love the movie.”
Tarun Gahlot then spoke highly of Luv Ranjan and director Anshul Sharma saying, “Luv sir has a great command over his writing. Anshul sir has also done very well. His human understanding is very tremendous. We have worked in a very relaxed manner. For the first time, I had that experience where you are in such a comfortable space that you are not afraid of making mistakes. When you don’t have this fear, nothing can be more relaxing for an actor. Aise aur log hone chahiye, so that as a filmmaker, you can grow and deliver better.”
Besides Ajay Devgn, De De Pyaar De 2 also stars Rakul Preet Singh and R Madhavan.
Remembering Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar
One of the films that stands out in Tarun Gahlot’s filmography is Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar (2021), directed by Dibakar Banerjee. The film took a while to be made. It was all set to be released on March 20, 2020. However, due to the pandemic, it was pushed indefinitely. It was released on March 19, 2021, at a time when once again, the cases had started to rise. As a result, the film didn’t get much of an audience. It finally got its due on Amazon Prime Video.
Tarun Gahlot began by saying that he was seen in a crucial scene in the opening. He revealed, “The whole scene was written by me and Dibakar. I was also the Haryanvi dialect coach for Arjun Kapoor throughout the film.”
On the tumultuous journey of the film, he stated, “I didn’t have much to do as an actor in Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar. But I was involved in the whole process as Arjun trained with me for three months. Dibakar and I had worked on the Haryanvi dialogues. I guess every film has its own destiny. Its release date got pushed. Finally, it did release in theatres but due to rising COVID cases, it didn’t reach out to the audience. However, it was a very honest film made by a hard-working team. Hence, it was heartening that finally it reached out to people through OTT. I got the same feeling for Raid 2’s success as well though with Raid 2, the response is far more.”
Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar starred Arjun Kapoor and Parineeti Chopra in leading roles. Tarun Gahlot continued, “Arjun and I formed a great bond. He wrote a very nice note for me on Instagram. I was quite touched. It helped people know that I have worked as an actor and coach on the film. Hence, a lot of people then reached out to me.”
