He said, "I had been auditioning for a lot of roles back in 2019 but somehow I wasn't getting any role but then all of a sudden I got a call to do three projects and during that time only I also got the call to come in and audition for this movie, at that point, I thought that this movie is out of my league so why not just focus on what I have in hand right now because the white tiger is a big project and I am not going to get the role, so there is no point in auditioning for it."
From planning on having a prospective career in music, to getting into acting, to thinking he will not get a role in a big project, to backing a role in an internationally released film that revolves around his character, Adarsh has made his name in the international film industry.
