18th October 2023, Mumbai: Meezaan Jafri is gearing up for the premiere of his forthcoming movie, Yaariyan 2. In this film, he takes on the role of Shikhar Randhawa, a charismatic young man who may come across as straightforward and tough, yet harbors a gentle heart beneath his rugged exterior. Delving into the intricacies of his character, the actor shared, “ I love challenging myself with each film, and when Bhushan ji (producer Bhushan Kumar) offered me Yaariyan 2, I had to be a part of it because of the complexity of the character. I immersed myself completely in playing Shikhar Randhawa. The character was emotionally challenging for me. The love affair of Shikhar was a brainteaser. It took me months to detach myself emotionally from Shikhar.”He further added, “I learnt to ride a dirt bike for the role, which was another interesting challenge for me. I am glad to be a part of Yaariyan 2. The film was an emotional and physical rollercoaster for me, and I will always hold it close to my heart.”
Meezaan has been diversifying his roles across various genres. Following his debut in the intense film Malaal, he ventured into comedy with Hungama 2 before taking on Yaariyan 2.
The actor acknowledges that Shikhar Randhawa is vastly different from his own personality. In this movie, which features Divya Khosla Kumar and Pearl V Puri in significant roles, the narrative beautifully explores the complexities of friendship, love, and the intricacies of human nature.
