Darsheel Safary, who made his cinematic debut in Aamir Khan’s Taare Zameen Par, is certain that the latter’s forthcoming movie Dhoom 3 will be “awesome”.
“[Aamir] will play a villain for the first time. That’s exciting. He looks good in the film,” said Safary.
Safary has no work assignments at the moment, but is busy with his education. He believes he has become “less mischievous and more serious” as a teenager and now that he has acted in Midnight’s Children, Zokkomon and Bumm Bumm Bole.
“I am still in touch with [Aamir]. We speak on our birthdays. Even before board [exam]s he had called me and said, ‘Study hard and forget about everything else for now’. Anything special comes, we speak. I consult him before any project. I am not doing anything right now except concentrating on my studies. I’ve finished directing a short movie for a college competition. I am directing for the first time. I’ve to edit also, so I am learning a lot. But acting is my passion,” said the actor, who co-hosted the opening ceremony of the 18th International Children’s Film Festival in Hyderabad on Thursday with comedian Saloni Daini.
“I enjoy film festivals. For hosting, I had to work on the lines a lot because I find it difficult to switch from Hindi to English. It came out pretty well though.”
