I am more confident about experimenting with roles now: Mitra Gadhvi

Mitra Gadhvi Mitra with Salman Khan on the set of Sikandar 2025 has been a happening year for Mitra Gadhvi so far. While both his D-Town releases, Bhram and Mithada Maheman, fared well at the box office, he also shared screen space with Salman Khan in Sikandar. Mitra shares, 'Last year was good for me too, as people loved my character in Fakt Purusho Maate and the film did really well. I also enjoyed doing The Great Gujarati Matrimony . I am happy that the first half of 2025 has been so good for me. Mithada Maheman was a very different film, and I was eagerly waiting for Bhram to hit the screens. With Bhram doing so well and audiences accepting my character whole-heartedly, I am more confident about experimenting with roles now. I was disheartened when Bhram didn't do well initially, as we knew we had made a good film. Thankfully, things changed completely from the third day onwards. Fans sent me messages like 'This is Mitra 2.0' and 'You are not Loy (from Chhello Divas) anymore'. People have told me that they want me to play more such roles. ' The actor, who did bungee jumping in Ladakh last year, is also looking forward to taking a break. He says, 'I travel to new destinations with friends every year. In September-October, we plan to explore the beauty of Munsyari (in Uttarakhand).' 'I am keen to do an action film now' Althoughpeople have loved him incomedies like 3 Ekka, Shu Thayu? and Chhello Divas, Mitra says he is now keen to explore different genres. He shares, 'I will still do comedies, as I love the genre, but I will experiment a lot more and explore different genres now. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Free P2,000 GCash eGift UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo I am very keen to do an action film, and I also want to play a negative lead.

But this year, we have already seen five-six movies doing well at the box office, and a few more big releases are in the pipeline. 2025 promises to be the biggest year for Gujarati cinema.' 'Salman Khan is one of the most chilled out co-stars' Sharing his experience of sharing screen space with Salman Khan in Sikandar, Mitra says, 'On the first day of the shoot in Hyderabad, my first shot was with him, where he had to slap me. Initially, I was a bit nervous, but Salman sir is one of the most chilled out co-stars. He kept cracking jokes and was singing in between the shots, which made things pretty easy for me. I never felt I needed to behave in a certain way because I was working with such a big star. '
