Actor Shruhad Goswami openly shared the powerful response he received after portraying Lord Krishna in the Gujarati devotional film ‘Laalo – Krishna Sada Sahaayate’. During the Bethak podcast, he explained, “Honestly, I don’t have the words to describe it. I didn’t expect people to have such deep faith. When they see me in the film, they think I am God. They come up to me, touch my feet, and often hug me.”

He added, “Maybe my face has become a symbol of God for many. I don’t fully understand it right now, but I know this isn’t mine — it’s God’s. I don’t see the love or respect people show me as my own, but I deeply respect the character of God and how people view Him through me.”

Goswami admitted he was initially hesitant about taking on the role, saying, “I didn’t like it at first. I don’t think anyone else could do it either, so I felt I couldn’t make it my own.”

Director Ankit Sakhiya had a different perspective. In an interview, he recalled telling Goswami, “Bro, you’re the only one who can play this role — no one else can do it.” During another interview, Sakhiya emphasized, “You are Krishna. What kind of Krishna? You are. You are for me. You will do it. Krishna. Done.” Despite Goswami’s initial doubts, the director’s confidence and the importance of the role convinced him to accept it.

Laalo was produced on a modest budget of Rs 50 lakh and had a limited release compared to mainstream Hindi films. Nevertheless, it became a blockbuster, earning over Rs 24.40 crore in its sixth week, according to reports from Sacnilk.

The film’s official trailer for ‘Laalo: Krishna Sada Sahaayate’ showcases its spiritual and cultural significance.
