Adarsh Gourav remembers being blown away by Anthony Hopkins’s menacing act when he first watched The Silence of the Lambs (1991). Now, in a charming twist of fate, he finds himself nominated alongside the legend in the Best Leading Actor category at the 2021 British Academy Film Awards (BAFTAs). “I have followed the works of Mads Mikkelsen and Anthony Hopkins. They are my all-time favourites,” begins an exuberant Gourav, who burst on the scene with his captivating performance as Balram in The White Tiger.
As soon as the Ramin Bahrani-directed film — an adaptation of Aravind Adiga’s Man Booker Prize-winning novel of the same name — dropped on Netflix, curious viewers started Googling ‘Adarsh Gourav’.
