The Aashiqui star’s comeback journey has been nothing short of inspirational. In November 2020, Roy suffered a brain stroke while shooting for Dr. Nitin’s “L.A.C.” in Kargil. After an arduous recovery process, Roy returned to face the camera a year later for “Walk”, with the same filmmaker.
Roy shared his excitement about his character in “Walk,” stating, “Roshan is forced to carry his deceased friend’s son through 1,000 miles of lockdown territory. I was excited to portray the emotional nuances of his journey and the transformation he goes through.”
Dr. Nitin is grateful for the opportunity to collaborate with Roy on two films and is full of praise for the actor’s passion and determination. He said, “Our films earning back to back awards is a testament to Rahul Roy’s determination and hard work.”
Rahul Roy’s fans can look forward to more of his work as he has a sequel to one of his “big films” in the pipeline. With “Walk” earning accolades at film festivals and Rahul Roy’s inspiring comeback, Dr. Nitin Kumar Gupta’s directorial venture is a testament to the power of resilience and determination in the face of adversity.
