For an Indian actor to score a nomination at a prestigious international award ceremony is amongst the biggest honors one can get, and that is what actor Adarsh Gourav is feeling right now.
Gourav has scored the Lead Actor nomination at the BAFTA (British Academy Film & Television Awards) and that too in fantastic company where he is pitted against Riz Ahmed for The Sound Of Metal, late Chadwick Boseman for Ma Rainey's Black Bottom, Mads Mikkelsen for the Danish language film Another Round,veteran British actor Anthony Hopkins in The Father and Algerian-French actor Tahar Rahim in The Mauritanian.
Talking about it with SpotboyE, Gourav said, “I am dazed! I was in the gym. In the morning I heard that I may be nominated. I didn’t think about it the whole day. I was busy doing other things. Now when I finish working out, I find messages from Pooja Asher (dialect coach for The White Tiger) and my father. He was watching it live on television. His joy on the phone was infectious. The impact(of being nominated) has begun to hit me now. It will take time.”
He added, “I realize that, Sir. I am proud of it. Now that you mention it it’s started to sink in. To just be nominated alongside all those great actors including Sir Anthony(Hopkins) whom I hero-worship… I’ve seen all the nominated performances except Anthony Hopkins in The Father. They are tremendous performances. If I’ve been nominated alongside these greats it means something.”
We wish Gourav and the entire team of The White Tiger loads of congratulations.
