Snehith Gowda all set to thrill and send chills
The Hindu
The youngster, who has carved a niche for himself as a model and theatre actor in Bengaluru, makes his debut with Aravind Kaushik’s ‘Gone Case’
Snehith Gowda makes his acting debut as a serial killer in Gone Case. The youngster, who is a non-smoker and a teetotaller, “developed a specific smoking style to give the character an edge.” The film, written and directed by Aravind Kaushik, had its teaser launch on July 2. Snehith, who has been actively involved in theatre in Bengaluru for the past few years, has worked with Arjun Sajnani and Zafar Mohiuddin. He met Aravindwhen he was auditioning for another film. Snehith says he acted in over 100 plays. “I am trained to read, write and speak Urdu and picked up Punjabi too. I believe it is the job of an actor to pick up as many dialects as possible. I was overwhelmed when I was approached to play the serial killer in Gone Case. Normally, debut actors are cast in romantic roles and have to work their way up to get meaty roles and here I was getting it on a platter. I was doubtful of whether I would be able to pull it off. That is when, Aravind and I decided to work on my look. I started growing a beard and my hair.”More Related News
National Press Day (November 16) was last week, and, as an entertainment journalist, I decided to base this column on a topic that is as personal as it is relevant — films on journalism and journalists. Journalism’s evolution has been depicted throughout the last 100-odd years thanks to pop culture, and the life and work of journalists have made for a wealth of memorable cinema.
