The actor interacted with the locals to get the nuances right.
Salman Khan's brother-in-law Aayush Sharma is gearing up to make his foray into Bollywood, with his debut film '

Loveratri

'. Since the film is set in

Gujarat

, the young actor had to travel to cities like Ahmedabad and Baroda to

prep

for his character. There, Aayush interacted with the local people to understand their culture and lifestyle. Apart from this, he also discussed with the makers of the film the accent in which his character would speak.

Talking about the same, he shared in an interview that in Gujarat, the locals don't really have any pronounced local accent and talk pretty much the same way people in Mumbai speak Hindi. He added that they do have local slang words, and some key words that they use while conversing, which is typical to every city. So, he made sure he got those nuances right.

To ensure that his character did not turn out to be a caricature, he interacted with the locals and observed them. Aayush believes that while enacting characters from different regions, actors often end up exaggerating the accents or go too loud, and since he didn't want to fall into the same trap, Abhiraj Minawala (director of the film) and he decided that he should visit the state. The film , which marks Aayush's debut, also stars newcomer Warina Hussain.
