Actor Yashpal Sharma to play a character full of depthcomplex, strong, and layered with emotions
Actor Yashpal Sharma, renowned for his roles in films like Lagaan, Gangaajal, and Apaharan, is currently filming Dhavak, alongside Geeta Agrawal Sharma. Directed by actor and director Yogesh Bhardwaj and produced by Praveshh Gaur under “Srauta Movies,” the film also features Jogi Mallang, Malkhan Singh, Sandeep Goyat, and Vishal Dahiya. Music is given by Rachita Arora, “Dhavak” emotionally delves into the journey of a struggling boy with big dreams. The film recently went on floors.
Reflecting on his role, Yashpal shared, “Initially, I wasn’t excited. I was tired, but once I heard the script, my fatigue vanished. The character, often seen as a simple drunkard, is full of depthcomplex, strong, and layered with emotions like anger, love, and humor. He reminded me of my father. Any actor would be fortunate to play such a multidimensional role.”
Yashpal noted, “Dhavak centers on the emotional struggles of a boy who has nothing, yet is deeply concerned about his future. It reflects relatable middle-class issues rather than the typical Bollywood hero story. Its beauty lies in simplicity, with every word and gesture carrying meaning.”
He also praised the production team for their dedication, adding, “The younger crew has been exceptional. For a film shot in a village with many first-time filmmakers, everything has run smoothly. Our team feels like a family. Producers who invest money on such topics are very rare. I also admire and appreciate the producer, Praveshh Gaur who is a visionary man. Despite being busy with his other businesses, he remains on location all the time.”
Yashpal expressed admiration for director Yogesh Bhardwaj, saying, “I’ve known Yogesh since we met in his class. His sincerity and craft are unmatched. We’ve worked together more than I have with any other actor, and I deeply value our bond. Salute to you, Yogesh!”
