He was 16 when the movie got released, and his delightful side role got appreciated as well.

He hails from Kandivali (East). His entry to films was just a co-incident. The casting director spotted him at a shopping mall, while he was on an outing with his mother. His house was renovating, and to stay away from the noise he went to shopping mall. The casting director felt that he looks like Sachin Tendulkar, and quite fits the role for the young cricketer in Ferrari Ki Sawaari. That’s how he bagged his debut role.
