Gautam has also shot for a short film in which he plays double role, one of freedom fighter Bhagat Singh and another of a young punjabi boy.
Gautam will be seen in the short film in a never-seen-before avatar donning beard. He told HT in an interview - "Growing a beard is tough and not as easy as one might think. It itches a lot (laughs). My friends and family found it weird at first, and they felt I wasn’t looking like myself. Later, they grew to love the look on me as did I. They felt I looked cool in a beard".
"I didn’t want to wear an artificial beard for the role. I had the time to grow a beard, so I went ahead with it. I have always donned different looks going with the requirement of the roles I played."
After 'Saraswatichandra' opposite Jennifer Winget, Gautam nailed his next character of 'Rudra' in 'Maha Kumbh: Ek Rahasaya, Ek Kahani' flaunting his 6 pack abs.
‘Bigg Boss 10’ cutie and popular actor Rohan Mehra sports a beard; Fans loving the New Look!
He was last seen playing the grown up 'Karn' in 'Suryaputra Karn'.
He added, "Like in the TV show Saraswatichandra, I had the normal good boy look; in TV series Maha Kumbh, I had put four shades of tan on my body, put on weight, got stubble and a crew cut to look like the character. In the mythological TV show, Suryaputra Karn, I grew my hair and became leaner. I always want to try and achieve the best look, which is as close to the character as possible. I sleep well when I put in that additional effort for a role."
Missing from TV screen for a long time, now the fans wait for the double treat from Gautam..or! it's a triple treat with double role in one and lead actor in the film 'Aksar 2'.
