Satish Kaushik’s LAST directorial Kaagaz 2 actor Darshan Kumaar says he was mistaken for a real cadet: “This not only happened once but twice”

Darshan Kumaar underwent rigorous training to portray an IMA officer on screen. Speaking about his training days, Darshan shared, “I remember one instance when Satish Ji took me to meet one of the officers at IMA. We went up to his office, and the moment the officer saw me, he sternly asked me to return to training. Satish Ji and I were shocked for a moment. Later, we realized it was a misunderstanding. The officer mentioned that I resembled one of the cadets so closely that he couldn't recognize me at all and was about to reprimand me. We all shared a hearty laugh thereafter."

He further added, “And this not only happened once but twice. I had a similar experience with a Lady Officer who shouted at me for not being on the ground, and she later realized that I was an actor and not a real cadet. I took it as a compliment and felt proud that I could embody the uniform look. I will forever be grateful for my character in Kaagaz 2."

Darshan Kumaar has consistently chosen strong, content-driven films that convey powerful messages. With Kaagaz 2, the actor once again selects a story that emphasizes the importance of not obstructing others' paths to pave one's own. Kaagaz 2 is all set to hit the theatres on March 1, 2024.
