Utkarsh Sharma, who impressed the audience with his performance in Gadar 2, is back with another intriguing project ‘Vanvaas’. He will be seen in a completely different role, contrasting to his character in his other movies. ‘Vanvaas’ revolves around an elderly father dealing with dementia and has to face the harsh truth of being abandoned by his family. This theme reminded the audience of the Amitabh Bachchan-starrer ‘Baghban’. In an exclusive interview with News24, Utkarsh Sharma talks about the comparison between two films, about his character and more.
The actor shares that even though ‘Vanvaas’ and ‘Baghban’ have themes of family relationships, the movies are completely different. He tells us, “Both ‘Vanvaas’ and ‘Baghban’ are family films but their genres are different. ‘Vanvaas’ is mostly a comedy film, which focuses on the social issue of old age abandonment. Whereas, Baghban was about parents’ separation due to their issues with their children.”
He further adds, “Our story is told in a comedic way with rom-com included as well and the setting is different. The theme of family is similar in both the films but the story is different. The story of ‘Vanvaas’ is new and different with the elements of suspense in it.”
