After so many new entrants in Bollywood, yet another star son is going to make his Bollywood debut. This time it’s the Producer-Director Anil Sharma who is going to launch his son, Utkarsh in the upcoming movie ‘Genius’, which is directed by Anil himself. The 31-second long trailer for the movie was unveiled on Thursday evening.
In the small teaser of the film, the protagonist Utkarsh is seen in the midst of Holi celebrations and a number of people dancing which seems to be a new Holi song for us. The shooting location seems a place like Rajasthan with forts or havelis. The teaser is seen to be a colourful one with lots of gulaal and colors. Although we only get to see Utkarsh for few seconds, we could guess him to be a future superstar of Bollywood. Utkarsh has donned a yellow and red T-shirt with black shade sunglasses.
Take a look at the teaser:
At the launch party of the movie in Mumbai, Anil talked about how he treated Utkarsh just like any other actor and not like his son. He said, “Everyone must be thinking that Utkarsh is my son, so I must have treated him gently on the film sets, but that’s not the case. I am a taskmaster as a director. I worked with him in Gadar: Ek Prem Katha as well. When I work as a director, then I only act as a director. That time I only see actors like characters for my film. While shooting for Gadar…, I made Utkarsh shoot in really tough conditions and late nights as well. So in this film also I have treated him only as an actor who plays the character in my film, and not as a son.”
On his experience of working with his son in Genius, Anil said, “It was really great. Since his first film as a child actor, I realised that he has a special talent. Then he did a film production course in the US. I think in this film, he has done a fantastic job with his realistic performance, but now things are in the audience’s hands, whether they will accept him or not as an actor, as I think the image of an actor is largely created by the audience.”
He further added, “As an actor, you just have to make sure that you put your best possible effort in every aspect, be it dancing, action, drama and living the character which you are playing. In this field, fathers cannot shape careers of their child. If that had been the case, then there would have been so many successful actors from film families.”
Genius has been directed by Anil Sharma and also stars Nawazuddin Siddiqui and newcomer Ishita. Utkarsh Sharma was also seen in the Anil Sharma directorial ‘Gada: Ek prem katha’ as Sunny Deol and Amisha Patel’s son.
