Mahadev Singh Lakhawat Recalls Abhishek Bachchan's Humble Gesture On Kaalidhar Laapata Set: 'He Stayer...'
Mahadev Singh Lakhawat recalls Abhishek Bachchan's humility on Kaalidhar Laapata set, shares insights on his character and experience working on the ZEE5 film. Actor Mahadev Singh Lakhawat, best known for his compelling performances in Kaala Pani, Bambai Meri Jaan, The Family Man, and A Simple Murder, is currently garnering praise for his role in Kaalidhar Laapata, streaming on ZEE5. Directed by Madhumita and produced by Nikkhil Advani's Emmay Entertainment, the film features an ensemble cast including Abhishek Bachchan, Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub, Nimrat Kaur, and Daivik Baghela. A graduate of the National School of Drama, Lakhawat brings depth and realism to the character he portrays—a kind-hearted, grounded man rooted in village life. 'This character is a very simple, truthful human being with a good heart," he says. 'He teaches and contributes to society by doing community services. He works in a temple, helps with food services, supports orphans, and teaches them under a tree. He's like a local guardian to Ballu. What I loved was how unassuming and relatable he is—a next-door man who isn't ashamed of any kind of work." Lakhawat's casting in the film came through a stroke of serendipity. 'I was performing a play at Prithvi Theatre, unaware that Madhumita and Nikkhil Advani were in the audience," he recalls. 'A few days later, I got a call from their team. At the Emmay Entertainment office, Madhumita narrated the story and asked me to perform a scene on the spot. She was looking for someone real, someone the audience could connect with instantly. It wasn't a big challenge, but being natural and truthful on camera can be very demanding. I gave it my best." Reflecting on his experience working with Abhishek Bachchan, Lakhawat shares nothing but admiration. 'Most of my scenes were with Abhishek and Ballu, since our characters reside in the same part of the village. Abhishek was warm, humble, and full of energy. He made everyone on set feel comfortable." But it was one moment during a night shoot that truly left an impression on Lakhawat. 'Abhishek had finished his scenes and was told he could wrap for the day. He left to change, but when he saw I was still waiting for my cues, he came back—got into his costume and makeup again—just so I could have someone to react to. That small gesture said so much about the kind of person and professional he is." Speaking about the shoot environment, Lakhawat fondly recalls working with young actor Daivik Baghela, who plays Ballu in the film. 'We had a wonderful time together. These kids are full of talent and confidence, yet so open and vulnerable on set. I was really inspired by that energy and sincerity." With Kaalidhar Laapata continuing to strike an emotional chord with audiences, Lakhawat's performance stands out not just for its sincerity, but also for the camaraderie and quiet humanity it brings to the screen. view comments First Published: July 12, 2025, 21:15 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

ZEE5 Movies Brings You the Haunting Tale of ‘Kaalidhar Laapata'
Are you willing to watch an emotional and gripping movie? We have landed up here with one of the best Hindi thriller movies on ZEE5, i.e. Kaalidhar Laapata for you. This wonderful story is a perfect remake of Karuppu Durai. This Madhumita-directed movie not only engages the audience till the end but also lets them guess. What is the Plot? Kaalidhar Laapata is one of the finest movies on ZEE5 that tells the story of an ageing man who escapes his family after listening to the plan for his family to abandon him. The story takes on an interesting turn when he meets a free-spirited boy named Ballu. Daivik Baghela performed the powerful role of Ballu in the movie, and he not only rescues Kaalidhar from being alone and lost but also becomes his guide and friend as well. Their friendship changes the aspects of living for Kaalidhar. Roller Coaster Ride of Emotions Kaalidhar Laapata is a roller coaster ride of emotions where the friendship of Kaalidhar and Ballu keeps on motivating Kaalidhar and changes his way of living. Ballu helped Kaalidhar in creating a bucket list of the goals that he wanted to do before his memory was lost. The things included are quite simple, like riding a motorcycle, enjoying biryani, and dancing in a wedding procession, but the joy included is quite immense. These small, happy and joyful moments bring happiness into the life of Kaalidhar. Fulfilling each goal reawakens something new in Kaalidhar. The same brings up a fleeting memory and brings up smiles and shines on his face. The cast of the Movie Kaalidhar Laapata comes up with a powerful cast that not only adds life to their character but also engages the audience till the end. Abhishek Bachchan as Kaalidhar has tried to bring a raw characterisation so that it sould appear real. He is portraying the character of a man who has lost himself and finds a reason to live after meeting Ballu. Daivik Baghela as Ballu adds a spark to the movie. Who made Kaalidhar Laapata? Kaalidhar Laapata is a wonderful movie by ZEE Studios and is co-produced with Emmay Entertainment, which brings up an emotional story with absolute mystery for the audience. It is the directorial debut of Madhumita, who is the director of its Tamil version KD as well. Madhumita has perfectly showcased her talent, her powerful direction and her way of portraying characters through this wonderful movie. Why 'Shadows' and 'Silence'? From Shadows The word Shadows in the title refers to the hidden past of Kaalidhar, and that includes his memories, his forgotten relationships and his inner pain. He, along with Ballu, goes on a day-out adventure where shadows from his past keep surfacing. It is not a crime thriller movie, but it includes an emotional sense that engages the audience till the end. To Silence The word silence in the Kaalidhar Laapata movie is all about how shadows bring up the moment of silence. Sometimes the words become too heavy and too painful that it becomes quite necessary to be silent for some time. Tone and Feel of the Film Kaalidhar Laapata is a wonderful movie that features soft lighting and close camera shots, making you feel closer to the characterisation. All of the above not only impact the storyline but also tell the feeling of confusion, sadness and small moments of joy. Whether it is about empty rooms or it's about untouched cups, every silence in the movie speaks loudly. The music of the movie also supports its story without booming and letting emotions breathe. Whether it is about the scene of eating biryani or it is about playing together, every single scene brings up a sense of nostalgia and tells about the hidden stories. Stories like Kaalidhar Laapata take their time in the world of fast-paced action and flashy stories. It lets you feel, listen and ask quietly about the different queries. The movie is quite appreciated by the audience for its slow, emotional stories and depth. The story of the movie initiates real conversations and real feelings without any hassle. Family and Abandonment The story of the Kaalidhar Laapata becomes quite interesting and engaging when the family of Kaalidhar leaves him after his memory loss. Friendship and Healing Ballu is not serving as a friend for Kaalidhar, but has emerged as a spark in the dark life of Kaalidhar. Their connection is quite strong, and simple moments like sharing food and sharing silence connect the audience more to it. Memory and Identity The Kaalidhar Laapata is a wonderful movie that is not about searching for a missing person, but it is about building a path that initiates a memory of Kaalidhar. Kaalidhar Laapata is a wonderful story of an ageing man who was being abundant by his family after his memory loss. The story is not about the things that we say out loud, but is about the relationships that hurt a lot and the relationships that care about us. It is a story of friendship and how it lightens up the life of every person.
