Overview
- Yudhvir Ahlawat plays Harpal, a teenager in the Saif Ali Khan‑led cop drama Kartavya, even though he is 33 years old.
- A recent interview clip in which Saif Ali Khan said he had 'treated him like a 16‑year‑old' went viral and rapidly increased public attention on Ahlawat.
- Ahlawat says he landed Kartavya after auditioning through Mukesh Chhabra’s casting team and being signed by Red Chillies, which locked him for the role.
- He recounts nearly ten years of theatre work and supporting film roles, including parts in Shamshera and Thar that were reduced or cut during edits before Kartavya became his breakout.
- The coverage highlights industry casting practices that allow older actors with youthful looks to play teens and shows how streaming plus social media can quickly turn a supporting actor into a public sensation.
