Filmmaker
Amit
harma,
who
is
making
his
directorial
debut
with
Tevar,
says
his
lead
actors
in
the
film
Sonakshi
Sinha
and
Arjun
Kapoor
were
given
to
him
as
a
gift
by
Arjun's
father
Boney
Kapoor.
"Sonakshi
and
Arjun
were
given
to
me
as
a
gift
by
Boney
sir.
I
was
very
happy
that
I
didn't
have
to
run
behind
the
actors," said
the
director.
"I
have
seen
Arjun's
earlier
films
but
when
I
met
him
for
the
first
time,
I
saw
the
gravity
in
his
face...
and
at
that
point
I
told
him
you
are
my
Pintu,
the
next
door
boy
from
UP
in
my
film.
His
character
in
the
film
is
very
instinctive
and
innovative
so
it
was
interesting
to
bring
the
character
alive
on
screen,"
he
added.
Tevar
is
being
produced
by
Boney
and
Sanjay
Kapoor
and
is
slated
for
Jan
9
release.
Sharma,
who
was
previously
an
ad
filmmaker,
also
thanked
Boney
for
helping
him
start
his
directorial
journey
with
Tevar.
"It
was
producer
Boney
Kapoor
who
made
me
part
of
this
film
and
from
there
my
journey
began.
I
see
'Tevar' as
a
small
town
film
and
I
wanted
to
shoot
in
Agra
and
Mathura
and
Boney
sir
supported
me.
The
film
is
very
realistic."
