The director of Gullak 5 literally told Siddhaarth Mishra to channel Hrithik Roshan's ZNMD energy for his new character, and that's a wild note to get as an actor. Abhat Raut handed the Gullak 4 alum a simple brief for Dr. Prithvi, basically saying emulate the vibe without copying it, building a hyper-ambitious guy whose personal life pays the price.
Multiple script readings fleshed out Prithvi as a total cleanliness and health nut, which birthed that first-scene dialogue about refusing handshakes before lunch when talking to Annu, played by Anant Joshi. Siddhaarth even improvised a detail where Prithvi pushes open a cabin door elbow-first to dodge germs, carrying that germaphobe energy through the entire scene.
And the fitness-obsessed doc apparently loses his mind watching Dr. Priti geek out over samosas and chhole bhature while Annu just eats it all up, which is probably the most relatable workplace dynamic ever put on screen.
