But the buzz around "Nayyi Navelli" isn’t just from the critics; it’s echoing in living rooms across Mumbai. Kids have taken to the screens like a new cult, calling it the season’s best family flick, and Adinath swears the timing of Dussehra felt like destiny.
Balaji Mohan’s direction keeps the pacing tight, and his myth‑fantasy world is a visual treat. Adinath, as Raja Awasthi, delivers a performance that critics say carries every scene on his shoulders, while Yami Gautam brings a grounded warmth that balances the film’s high‑concept beats.
He was filming a TV show and producing it when the call came from Mukesh Chhabra. “He asked me, ‘How busy are you?’ and I said I was free,” Adinath told the Hindustan Times. The risk paid off when he slipped the film into his schedule, proving even a packed calendar can make room for a dream role.
And the buzz isn’t stopping there. Kothare is set to play Bharath in Nitesh Tiwari’s "Ramayana: Part 1", slotted for a November 5 release. Fans will have to keep an eye on him as he steps from mythic royalty to epic legend, proving the actor’s range is as vast as the stories he inhabits.
