Adarsh Gourav says he embraces anonymity

Adarsh Gourav feels joyful that he isn’t a recognisable face in public regardless of a filmography of many vital hits and finds the anonymity fairly regular. The actor has stepped into documentary storytelling with ‘Voices of the Land’, a brand new sequence that explores the wealthy cultural heritage of India’s northeastern area.

And it was a spot the place individuals didn’t recognise him, who has proved his versatility as an artiste with assorted performances in films reminiscent of ‘The White Tiger’, ‘Mother’, ‘Kho Gaye Hum Kahan’, ‘Superboys of Malegaon’ and sequence ‘Weapons & Gulaab’. “They have been advised that I used to be an actor, and I am positive a few of them Googled me later. They have been like, ‘Okay, he’s performed this movie and that movie’,” Gourav advised PTI in an interview.

Requested if the anonymity was refreshing for him, the actor stated, “I discover that anonymity each day. I’m not that recognisable. The sort of movies that I’ve performed have largely been area of interest movies. They aren’t large industrial movies that launch on 5,000 screens throughout the nation.”

He stated it’s tough for actors, who’re both stars or rising stars, to stay nameless in public. “For me, not being recognised is definitely regular. So not being recognised within the Northeast felt like regular life. The day everyone begins recognising me – that’s when issues will begin feeling irregular,” he stated.

‘Voices of the Land’ will see Gourav journey throughout the Northeast as he connects with indigenous communities via their music, folklore, rituals, oral histories and on a regular basis lives.

Gourav stated he has a ‘very low threshold for cities’ and the docuseries supplied him an opportunity to distance himself from the hustle and bustle of city life.

“I simply needed to get out of the rut of town and get away from something associated to city life. I begin feeling saturated in a short time. If I don’t run away to a spot that has plenty of nature each few weeks, I begin feeling burnt out,” he stated.

Backed by ‘Edstead’ in collaboration with ‘Air India Specific’ and ‘Dentsu Sports activities & Leisure’, ‘Voices of the Land’ will premiere on ‘JioHotstar’ in July 2026.
