A new Khan on the block

Haider Khan

So another Khan is joining the gang in the film industry. It is Haider Khan, the youngest son of Tahir Khan and brother of Aamir Khan.

He was recently in the Capital during the launch of his debut film Sirf Romance... Love by Chance at Hotel Nikko. The movie will be produced by Deepak Sharma of D.S. Productions and directed by Raja Bundela, a television artiste. The movie is made especially for the teenagers. It will tell them how to cope with the generation gap.

"It deals with the teenager's mind when he is in a dilemma while trying to satisfy both his family and friends," says the director.

There is no violence or bloodshed involved. Apart from debutant artist Haider Khan, the two-hour movie also stars well-known actors such as Raj Babbar and Kanwaljeet. The shooting will commence soon. The director has opted for Delhi and Noida as shooting locales.

"Why go abroad when the scenic beauty is admirable in our own country, says Bundela. Hinglish has been used for the title so as to make it sound catchy and interesting. This is the third film directed by Bundela. He has directed Pratha and the Game of Chess, the latter being an English film that starred Hollywood actors such as Kaize Golan and Mary Ulanga. Bundela prefers direction to acting.

"While directing I am able to broaden my horizons which was not so while acting."

The director is confident that Haider will reach the pinnacle in the industry like his elder brother. The director is on the lookout for someone for the female lead role. Haider Khan is all excited about his debut film. "Acting has always been in my blood. I actively participated in dramatics during my school days," he says.

In the movie, he plays the role of a romantic boy named Neel. He wants to be portrayed as a romantic hero .

Apart from acting, Haider enjoys watching movies and reading fiction. He has not signed any more movies for now.

"I want to thoroughly concentrate on this film and not divert my mind," he reasons.
