Paresh Rawal, a stalwart of the Indian film industry, recently shared his thoughts on his role in the much-acclaimed Dream Girl 2 and the challenges of comedy scripts in a candid interview with News18. The veteran actor expressed his desire for a longer screen presence in the film, shedding light on the complexities of performing in comedies.
In Dream Girl 2, Paresh Rawal teamed up with Ayushmann Khurrana for the first time, creating a buzz among fans eager to witness their on-screen chemistry. However, Rawal's role in the film, though significant, wasn't as extensive as Khurrana's. He shared, "My role in Dream Girl 2 is good but isn't as big as Ayushmann's. But it's a very good role." Rawal's words reflect the essence of his dedication to his craft, always striving for excellence.
The interview also provided insight into the challenges faced by actors when it comes to comedy scripts. Rawal revealed, "The issue is you don't get good scripts very often when it comes to comedy. It's very difficult. So, in a situation like that, you would want to have a bigger role in a good comedy film. Much like any other actor, I also want a scope to perform better and have a chunkier role. All actors, after all, are greedy.”
Dream Girl 2, directed by Raaj Shaandilyaa and featuring the talented Ananya Panday, Vijay Raaz, and Abhishek Banerjee, received a warm reception from audiences. Within its first week of release, the film raked in an impressive ₹67 crore at the box office, showcasing its appeal among moviegoers.
A review excerpt from Hindustan Times noted, "At a little more than two hours, there is never a dull moment in Dream Girl 2." The film's pace was described as dynamic, although there were moments when the writing seemed less robust. Nonetheless, the film's overall entertainment value was undeniable.
Paresh Rawal's desire for more screen time in Dream Girl 2 highlights the aspirations and challenges faced by actors in the comedy genre. While the film industry values talent like his, it also serves as a reminder that even experienced actors continually seek opportunities to showcase their skills and create memorable moments on screen. In an industry as dynamic as Bollywood, Paresh Rawal's dedication to his craft remains unwavering, and audiences can eagerly anticipate his future performances.
