Remember Ishaan Awasthi from ‘Taare Zameen Par’? Yes, the sweet but the mischievous boy is all grown up! Darsheel Safary is back and on path to make a place for himself in the industry. He is soon going to be seen in a film called ‘Hukus Bukus’. He essays the role of an aspiring cricketer based in Kashmir. The story revolves around the father-son bond, and is about hopes and aspirations. Ahead of the big release, Darsheel spoke at length about the film and his journey. He also spoke about his connection with Aamir Khan.
“I have been busy doing theatre since the last six years or so and have been completing, focusing on acting skills, preparing myself for the bigger, longer innings. Vinay Bhardwaj sir, the producer and director of the film, had come to see one of my plays and he said that he had a project for me. We met and he narrated the concept. My only thing was that I was not very enthusiastic to be a part of a film with all about propaganda and all the controversial stuff. I just asked him that it’s a beautiful story but we are not catching that angle right? He said, no, not at all. We are just looking at a very personal intimate story of a boy and his father and it’s based on cricket. It has some thoughts on faith, some themes and I think it will be fun. I was like, fine, fair enough. We started prepping and I am a big cricket fan so I was very happy to be a part of it. What actually got me attracted to this project was because this shows my character, Arjun, that I am playing, he is very passionate. He is passionately driven. This guy does everything very passionately in his life. There is a lot of love and a lot of positivity in the character,” he said. (Agencies)
