It’s goodbye Danny Boyle, hello Vashu Bhagnani for Slumdog Millionaire kids Rubina Ali and Azharuddin.
The Bollywood filmmaker quicker off the mark than all other producers, has signed on the child stars of the Oscar winning film for cameo roles in his next film. It’s called Kal Kisne Dekha and is meant to be a launch pad for his son Jacky. The film being directed by Vivek Sharma has eight-minute roles for Rubina and Azharuddin.
Late Tuesday night, they faced the camera for the first time in an outdoor shoot at Santacruz Airport. The scene had them returning to India after their moment of triumph and fame at the Oscars (clever, Vashu Bhagnani!) and being saved from a bomb blast by Jacky. The kids were mobbed by curious onlookers at the shoot and admitted, while signing autographs, that they wanted to be film stars. “Bada hoke main Salman Khan banna chahta hoon. He is very cool and my favourite star. But I will complete my college first before I become a big film star,” said Azhar, who secretly admires Katrina Kaif. The kid’s not affected a bit by the beating he got from his father. “When my dad slapped me, the media wrote bad things about him. He cried after that. So what if he slapped me? Baat nahin sunega toh maarenge na,” he explained. Like Azharuddin, Rubina too dreams of becoming a “big filmstar” like Preity Zinta someday. “I am enjoying every bit of the attention now,” she said.
Meanwhile, their co-star and hero of Kal Kisne Dekha, Jacky. is completely in awe of the kids. “They are examples of ingenuity. They have proved that you don’t have to polish and groom yourself to be a filmstar. You don’t need wealth and a star father to launch you. Be yourself and people will identify and love you,” he said.
Like Danny, Vashu too intends to do his bit for the kids. “Being a builder I will speak to some friends in Azhar’s area and try to get him a free flat and if that doesn’t happen, I will ensure that his family gets a heavy discount. I will also arrange for the bank loan because I know if I give them the money, it will be spent,” said Vashu who is also getting roles and endorsements for Azhar. As for Rubina, he will work out a financial deal with her family and other requirements if there are any.
