Image via Facebook[/caption] “My director Abhiraj was very certain about understanding how the people in the Gujarati community are. He did not want to make the character a caricature. A lot of times we make characters from different regions very loud with exaggerated accents in a bid to be authentic. I didn’t want to sound over the top, so we decided that I should go to Gujarat.” Ayush said. During the recce for the shoot of Loveratri, Aayush went to Ahmedabad and Baroda and interacted with the youth there to understand and imbibe their lifestyle and culture. Aayush further stated that after visiting Gujarat, he noticed that there was no pronounced local accent. “They talk exactly the way anybody in Mumbai would speak Hindi. What they do have is local slang words and keywords that a Gujarati person would use in conversation. That is typical of every city and that is what I picked up. The character needs to sound authentic at the end of the day.” The
Abhiraj Minawala directorial
is a love story that develops over the festivities of Navratri and it all set to hit the theatres on 5 October.
