Dilip Singh Rathod, who is involved with the production of the film in India, said ���The film has been a huge hit in Germany. It���s a Walt Disney production too. The next in the series will be filmed in India. Right now, we are doing the technical scouting for the film. Lilly will be played by a German girl Alina Freund. Slumdog Millionaire actor, Tanay Chheda, has been cast in the film.���
While Tanay was still in school when CT tried to get in touch with him, his mother, Tejal Chheda, confirmed the news. ���The casting director auditioned him and liked Tanay���s performance. Lilly is a good witch and helps people. She is on an assignment to come down to a fictitious place called Mandolin. This place is supposed to be in India. That���s where Lilly meets Tanay���s character,��� Chheda Senior said.
Does Tanay have to learn German too? ���That���s not decided as yet. They are still contemplating whether he can just learn the dialogues or needs to know the language to emote properly,��� she added.
Meanwhile, Tanay has already completed 80 per cent of the shooting in Mumbai for My Name is Khan where he plays junior SRK called Rizwan Khan.
