Mithila Palkar on working with Irrfan Khan in Karwaan: He taught me how to be present in a scene

Mithila Palkar, who is making her Bollywood debut as a leading lady in Karwaan, says more than her getting used to Irrfan Khan and Dulquer Salmaan , it was them who got accustomed to her madness. In the Akarsh Khurana -directed film, Palkar plays a young, free-spirited girl who doesn’t care about what others think of her opinion.

Mithila realises that and says working with them was a great learning experience. “I have grown up watching his films and I am still in awe of him. I was nervous while working with him, but he put me at ease, and taught me how to be present in a scene. On the other hand, I hadn’t seen a single film of DQ before I met him but imagine if I was a fan of both before I started working with them. I would have started crying out of nervousness,” she tells Mumbai Mirror. Palkar already has a huge fan base owing to the success of her Filter Copy videos and web-series. However, she has only been seen in minor role in Katti Batti as yet. She has also appeared in the 2017 Marathi film Muramba, which makes Karwaan her first big-ticket project. The film is set to release on 3 August 2019 alongside Aishwarya Rai Bachchan-starrer Fanne Khan.
