Sumit Gahlawat: From Nervousness to Memes with Bajpayee

Sumit Gahlawat has expressed his delight and surprise at the positive reception of Netflix's "Gajab Raat," particularly noting the viral memes featuring his character Tomar and Manoj Bajpayee's senior officer Nirvit. Gahlawat finds the creation of memes a novel experience, appreciating that audiences noticed subtle gestures in his performance.

Initially, Gahlawat experienced nervousness acting with the acclaimed Manoj Bajpayee, a childhood admiration. However, this quickly subsided as Bajpayee proved to be an accessible and humorous co-star, making their scenes feel authentic and chemistry-driven. Gahlawat also elaborated on his preparation, focusing on Tomar's individual thought process and his relationship with Nirvit.

Looking ahead, Gahlawat confirmed his upcoming show, "Hassan MD," co-starring Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Dia Mirza, is scheduled for release on JioHotstar in December. This follows his consistent work with director Vipul Amrutlal Shah, including "The Kerala Story" and its sequels, highlighting a trusting professional relationship.
