Ritvik Sahore On Playing Aniket Nikam
Talking about his role, Ritvik said that being part of Prahaar was an honour and that he enjoyed exploring Aniket’s relationship with his father.

From Child Artist To OTT Favourite
Ritvik Sahore began his acting career as a child artist and made his feature film debut with Ferrari Ki Sawaari. His performance earned him a Best Child Artist nomination at the Screen Awards. He later appeared in the blockbuster Dangal.
Over the years, Ritvik has become a familiar face in the OTT space through shows such as Flames, Indori Ishq, Campus Diaries, Jamnapaar and Highway Love.

Ritvik On The Story Behind ‘Prahaar’
Ritvik highlighted the importance of the film’s courtroom narrative, particularly its focus on the legal proceedings that followed the 26/11 attacks.
He said that while several films have explored the events of 26/11, the courtroom proceedings that followed and the efforts to establish the crimes committed by Kasab have received less attention. According to Ritvik, Prahaar brings an important chapter of that story to the screen.
Working With Rajkummar Rao And Avinash Arun
For Ritvik, working with Rajkummar Rao and director Avinash Arun was another significant part of the experience. He described the opportunity as enriching and expressed pride in being associated with a story he considers important.
With Prahaar, Ritvik continues his transition from a successful child-artist career to more prominent roles on both OTT platforms and the big screen.
