Aditya Rawal Wiki, Age, Height, Family, Girlfriend, Biography & More

Aditya Rawal, son of Paresh Rawal and Swaroop Sampat, made his debut with Zee5's film Bamford. A hinterland romance set in Allahabad, the debutant seems to have impressed critics and audiences alike with his fiery performance. Pinkvilla got in touch with the actor to know what his father Paresh Rawal thinks of his performance, his Allahabadi accent, and what the road ahead looks like.

The reaction has been very heartening. Very motivating to know that people have liked the performances and the film so much. So many people whose work I respect, call you to tell you that they enjoyed your work is very humbling. But also what was really satisfying was to hear people from Allahabad and Kanpur. People who saw the film felt like they belonged to that world that the director created in Bamford. It was very original to that place. Authenticity is something every actor strives for at some level and to have seemingly achieved that is very heartening.

Yes, they were happy with my work. That was one of the most important things for me. Not only are they my parents..so they are going, to be honest with me but also it will be qualified opinion considering their years of experience in the field. So when my father said they enjoyed the film..that was very heartening for me. They enjoyed my performance. What made me really happy was when he said that it doesn't feel like it's your first film.it feels like your fourth or fifth film. That was very heartening. But also with us as a family, we take a very blue-collar approach to acting and writing. So, the minute we get compliments out of the way, we immediately get down to what could have been improved, changed, how I could have squeezed more out of a particular scene..all those things which I feel are the most rewarding part of the process. All in all, I was pleased by their reaction.

The film was meant to come out in theaters. When you see it also, you can judge by the cinematography, the scale of the film, and the visuals. We all hoped for it to be released in theaters but the virus sort of dampened our plans. We just felt that when theatres would open, whenever that happens, there will be a deluge of huge films that have been waiting to release. So our small film may get lost in that flood. We wanted this film that we've made with so much heart and soul to be seen by as many people as possible and we felt Zee5 offered us that platform. Considering people are at home, it felt like a no-brainer.

It wasn't one particular person or a character. I joined the team for recce, we went location scouting for a week in Kanpur and Allahabad. So, you look around you, observe people, you overhear their conversations..there's a lot to be gained from that. You see their body language, you adopt certain mannerisms..so there was that. Then there were workshops that helped to apply what I had learned. There were a couple of people who were working on the film that I learned a lot from. One of them was the film writer Hanzalah Shahid who belongs to the neighborhood in which the story is set in. So his way of speaking, certain words that he uses were used by us when we were improvising. Certain mannerisms I adopted from him. Then our coach Abhishek Pandey who conducted workshops.. too was from Allahabad. So to have both of them to rely on was great. Even the director Ranjan Chandel is not too far from Allahabad. So to have all these people who are authorities in that world was very helpful. You knew that you could try anything and if you ever went off the path they would bring you back in. It was great.

It was an absolute joy. We had done a couple of weeks of workshops. So by the time we went on set we were already friends, we had developed a sort of comfort level. So when we were shooting, we were all prepped and ready to play our characters. Such experienced actors like Vijay, Jatin, Shalini, and Sana Amin Shaikh were quick to put me and a couple of other debutantes at ease. They made the process easier for us. Offset they were great to hang out with and I do believe that my performances were much better because I performed the scenes with these actors. Each one of them is incredibly talented.

There are so many. I quite enjoyed the confrontation scenes with Vijay Varma's character Jigar Farheedi. As they say, acting is reacting, and he gives you so much to react to. It almost feels like your floating on a gust of wind..working with him. The lines were great. There are three confrontation scenes with him in each part of the story. And to be able to find those degrees of change despite the scenes themselves being confrontational between the two same characters.. was a very enlightening experience. To watch him do the scene helped me out immensely. So I would say the three confrontation scenes with Vijay were my favorite.

I have a few acting and writing projects lined up. We would have begun shooting by now if it wasn't for the virus. Am finishing a couple of writing projects. As far as acting goes, I will be working on a series and a film. And it's the same case with writing. I also write a lot of plays for theatre so that will continue to happen on the side.

Bollywood actor Paresh Rawal is known for entertaining the audience for years now. The versatile actor is now set to be seen in the comedy film 'Hungama 2' alongside Meezaan Jaffrey and Shilpa Shetty. In a recent interview with a leading daily, Paresh Rawal disclosed the reasons why he didn’t launch his son Aditya Rawal in the industry. Aditya Rawal recently made his Bollywood debut with the film ‘Bamford’.  

In an interview with the Indian Express,  Paresh said that he doesn’t ‘have that kind of money to launch his son into the film industry. “I did not launch him as my son because I don’t have that kind of money. To launch my son, you require big machinery,” said the actor. Paresh further added that he is proud that Aditya’s “work is fetching his work”, without his father’s recommendations. “Through his own effort, he got noticed. People loved his work in 'Bamford'. And now, he is working with Hansal Mehta. I mean, he is working with a director like him,” he added. 

On being asked if Paresh gave his Aditya any lessons or teachings before his Bollywood debut, the ‘Hera Pheri’ actor informed that before his son became an actor, he was a writer. He went to NYU to study scriptwriting and playwriting. “In regards to acting, he trained in London International School of Performing Arts, London for 6-8 months,” the actor continued. 

It's the second time in less than a month that Vijay Varma is making his way to the small screen with Bamford. The 'Gully Boy' actor was last seen in the Netflix drama 'She' and was one of the few good elements that made the series bearable. However, in Bamfaad, it is neither Vijay Varma nor the film's script that will keep you hooked to the screen. Directed by Ranjan Chandel, Bamfaad is the debut film of Paresh Rawal's son Aditya Rawal and actress Shalini Pandey's Hindi debut on Zee 5 presented by Anurag Kashyap. 

Set in Uttar Pradesh's Allahabad, the story revolves around Nasir Jamal AKA Nate and Neelam played by Aditya and Shalini respectively. Whereas Vijay Varma is the local politician cum goon Jigar Fareedi and Sacred Games' Jatin Sarna stars as Zahid. No, there is no Hindu-Muslim class divide but the same old star-crossed lovers' story between Nate and Neelam that sets the tone of the film. 

A loud and notorious character who does as he pleases, Nate hails from a politically strong family. While his mother jumps at every opportunity to tame him, his politician father has been growing tired of his son's antics. But it is Nate's blossoming love with Neelam that takes the story forward. Everything seems hunky-dory until Nate realizes that local politician and goon Jigar Fareedi is his girlfriend Neelam's provider and in turn uses her. What ensues is a riot of drama and a whole lot of gun-blazing that has been done over and over again in Hindi films.

Politics, elections, betrayal of friendship, and the loss of family are the multiple layers in Bamford. With a mundane script and super filmy dialogues, Bamfaad can prove to be a drag for its run time of 1 hour and 40 minutes. However, an impactful performance from Aditya Rawal as a debutant keeps the momentum going. Aditya as Nate lives and breathes the character of a small town UP boy and makes the scene his own with his bold character. Jatin Sarna as Nate's good friend Zahid is another great addition. The film's background music in pivotal scenes is bound to keep you hooked further. Arjun Reddy actress Shalini Pandey and Aditya's love story is believable and so is their chemistry. 

However, the biggest disappointment is an insanely talented actor like Vijay Varma being wasted with a character that fails to stand out. There is plenty of Jigar Fareedi on-screen but neither does he terrify you nor evoke a sense of appeal. The supporting cast in Bamfaad plays a massive contribution to keeping things interesting.

In the modern-day age, finding the perfect love story is difficult. But for our Bollywood producers and filmmakers, it isn’t such a daunting task. Speaking of this, Anurag Kashyap & Zee5 is all set to present a tale of explosive love in his digital film, Bamfaad, with debutante director Ranjan Chandel. The film stars debutantes, Shalini Pandey and Aditya Rawal who will be seen in the film as Neelam and Nasir Jamal. The story of Bamfaad revolves around passion, friendship, betrayal, loss, and love. Interestingly, Aditya is Bollywood star Paresh Rawal’s son and Shalini is best known for her Telugu film Arjun Reddy with Vijay Deverakonda.

Based in Allahabad, Neelam and Nasir’s story takes you on an explosive ride of volatile love and the raw energy of the two will surely blow you over. Announcing the Zee5’s original’s film, Anurag shared the poster of Bamfaad on social media and wrote, “Jahaan dil lagaana nahin asaan wahan aashiqi hogi bamfaad! Introducing @aditya___rawal as Nasir Jamal and @shalzp as Neelam, directed by @ranjanchandel. Premieres 10th April.” The film will release on April 10, 2020, on the online streaming platform, Zee5. 

In the poster, we get to see Aditya and Shalini as Nasir and Neelam. The two debutantes can be seen leaning on each other while two white doves can be seen flying above them. With the backdrop of a monument, the two lovers looked intense in the poster. Talking about the debut film, Paresh's son, Aditya said, “I am glad that I got the chance to be a part of such a thrilling film. Though the driving force of the film is the love story, it has many more layers to it. I want to make my own mark as an actor in the industry, and it feels great to begin my journey by playing Nasir Jamal, a character that fascinated me ever since I read the script. I hope that people watch the film in huge numbers on Zee5, and I am eager to hear their feedback."

On making her Bollywood debut with Bamfaad, Arjun Reddy star Shalini reflected on her character and said, “Neelam is a bold & strong 24-year-old girl, but has that vulnerability to her which spoke to me instantly. As an artist, I look forward to projects that challenge me and this project really pushed me and I learned a lot while playing this part. Bamford has a phenomenal storyline and it is getting the perfect exposure with a massive video streaming platform like ZEE5!”

The debutante director Ranjan Chandel also expressed his thoughts about the film that will feature Shalini and Aditya. Talking about his debut Bollywood directorial, Ranjan said “Bamfaad is a heartfelt script to be brought to life on the screens. Aditya and Shalini are the perfect matches for the characters we envisioned. I still remember, the casting director Taran Bajaj and I reached out to many experienced actors as well but Aditya and Shalini just made it feel apt and looked refreshing together.

While we are currently living in challenging times with the pandemic, I feel like releasing this film on a digital platform like ZEE5 will give it the reach it deserves. This film is made with a lot of love and will touch many hearts.”  The poster surely grabs the attention and with the current situation of the Pandemic leaving people stranded in their homes, releasing Bamfaad on an OTT platform may work to their advantage. Apart from Aditya and Shalini, the film stars Sacred Games star Jatin Sarna and Gully Boy actor Vijay Varma as well. Bamford, produced by JAR Pictures and Shaika Films will release on Zee5 on April 10, 2020. 

With most of us hooked to web series and films in this current state of lockdown, a brand new film from Zee5 is all set to drop on April 10. Titled Bamfaad, the film will be Paresh Rawal’s son Aditya Rawal and Arjun Reddy actress Shalini Pandey's digital debut.

The trailer introduces Aditya and Shalini's characters as Nate and Neelam respectively and how the two fall in love.

This hinterland romance is set in Allahabad and also stars Gully Boy's Vijay Varma and Sacred Games' Jatin Sarna in pivotal roles. The film is backed by Anurag Kashyap and directed by Ranjan Chandel.
