Adarsh Gourav Pens Heartfelt Note After Tu Yaa Main Release
Taking to his Instagram handle, Adarsh wrote, "What was it about him that felt so personal to me? Maybe his desire to break out and find an identity. Something infectious about a character who knows where he’s coming from and does not shy away from it. Would I ever be able to walk up to someone while owning my fears and let them see me for who I am? Probably not. Probably what I wanted to be. Maruti gave me a chance to be what I always envied. I wanted to be his friend the moment I read about him."

The actor also addressed Tu Yaa Main's slow start at the box office, urging the audience to turn up in bigger numbers. He said it is important for people to support smaller commercial films like Tu Yaa Main, as it gives writers and directors a real chance to develop clutter-breaking cinema.
"It encourages producers to back films that are trying do do anything unique. Plus this one is tailor made for a big screen experience. We are off to a slow start but we’ve been feeling all the love coming our way. If you liked the film- pls tell your friends about it and watch us all get destroyed by an 18 foot Crocodile," added Adarsh.
