Noida students to act in Bhagnani’s movie
NEW DELHI: Five lucky aspirants from the Amity University Campus in NOIDA are to be shortlisted to act in a future film for eminent producer Vashu Bhagnani, whose latest film Kal Kissne Dekha introduces his son Jackky and late filmmaker Manmohan Desai’s grand-daughter Vaishali Desai in the lead.
The performances by about 5,000 students during a Youth Festival on the occasion of Valentine’s Day today were recorded and the names of three boys and two girls would be picked from among these. The stars of Kal Kissne Delhi – senior actor Rishi Kapoor, Jackky Bhagnani and Vaishali Desai – along with Vashu himself participated in the celebrations.
Made under the banner of Puja Films, the film has been directed by Vivek Sharma and is being released on 3 April.
Jackky Bhagnani said, “Kal Kissne Dekha is a youthful film and with this contest, I believe that we can straight away make the youth a part of it. On the other hand they will get a chance to work in films and people will get to know about my movie.”
Kal Kissne Dekha is a romantic thriller film. It revolves around a small town boy named Nihaal Singh. With numerous dreams, he reaches the buzzing Mumbai city where he faces a number of hardships which he had never imagined. The story depicts the adversity of this guy whose fate keeps him as an underdog.
