Dev Benegal and actor Abhay Deol are making a pitstop in Delhi on the publicity journey for their Road, Movie, but their audience is going to be a special one.Mohammed Faisal, the boy who plays one of the leads in Road, Movie belongs to the Salaam Balak Trust, and the director and actor of the film will be there at a special screening of the film tomorrow evening for underprivileged kids from that organisation.
The kids, say the movie’s publicity team will be the special guests for the evening.
Dev wanted a child who “looked very innocent” but was very “pert” at the same time, says a statement. He couldn’t find the right actor despite many auditions. Finally, a friend suggested that he meet the boys who’re a part of the Trust’s theatre group. With just a couple of days to go for the shooting of the film, Dev auditioned Faisal and was maha impressed. Acting sure ain’t child’s play, is it?
