Yeh Hain Chahatein actor Yagya Bhasin will be seen playing the role of Chhota Bheem in the upcoming film, Chhota Bheem and the Curse of Damyaan. Yagya shares that he feels proud to have played everyone’s favourite character. “It feels amazing and I feel proud that I got to play such an iconic character. And I want to thank the makers of the film for giving me this opportunity. I also love Chhota Bheem and I used to watch it a lot. I still watch the show. One time I jumped out of my closet to act like him and that was troublesome for my parents. But I never thought that I’d get the chance to play him one day. It is a dream come true,” says Yagya, who is currently in Class 9.
Yagya adds that he contemplated a lot before agreeing to do the part in the film, which is the live-version of the 2012 animated film with the same title. “The pressure was from the expectations of the people because it is such an iconic character. I was really worried if I’d be able to meet up the expectations but I decided that I have to do this because it has always been my favourite character. My family felt really proud when they got to know that I am playing this character. My friends called me Chhota Bheem in school after the teaser came out, that felt great,” says Yagya.
He, however adds, “The animated version of the show has set some high standards for me to follow but I have tried my best in the film.”
