Heart
throb
Upen
Patel
who
is
presently
in
South
Africa
shooting
for
Suneel
Darshan's
Shakalaka
Boom
Boom
can't
stop
raving
about
Bobby
Deol.
Upen
Patel
plays
the
role
of
a
rock
star
in
the
film.
He
has
just
finished
his
first
day
of
shoot
with
Bobby
and
the
two
seem
to
have
gelled
well.
Says
Upen,
"Bobby
is
such
a
genuine
guy.
You
can't
help
but
like
him.
He
is
extremely
helpful
to
me.
He
has
been
patiently
rehearsing
at
length
with
me.
In
fact
he
has
been
giving
me
pointers
on
intense
scenes.
He
is
completely
unselfish
as
an
actor.
He
is
more
than
willing
to
let
the
other
person
take
over
if
need
be.
He
doesn't
try
to
hog
the
frame"
In
fact
Upen
is
also
full
on
praise
of
Bobby
as
an
actor.
Says
Upen,
"I
was
in
shock...
He
is
such
an
under-rated
actor.
I
was
completely
blown
by
his
intense
scenes.
Right
now
I'm
suffering
from
a
'Bobby
complex'.
He
is
so
talented
and
yet
he
hates
showing
off.
Its
going
to
be
a
real
challenge
even
if
I
perform
half
of
his
caliber"
It
seems
like
Upen
can't
get
enough
of
Bobby.
But
Upen
also
seems
to
be
aware
that
he
has
to
put
his
best
effort.
Upen
adds,
"I
will
be
putting
my
best
effort
for
this
film.
I
understand
that
there
were
critical
reviews
for
my
debut
film.
But
it
was
a
learning
process.
I
have
paid
heed
to
it.
This
film
will
answer
all
my
critics.
I
am
so
thankful
to
Suneel
Darshan
for
giving
me
this
platform
to
showcase
my
capabilities.
He
is
such
an
actor's
director
and
taps
the
actor's
potential.
I'm
so
thankful
to
him
for
giving
me
this
opportunity
and
reposing
that
faith
in
me.
I
have
to
deliver"
Whilst
Upen
understands
and
is
upfront
about
answering
his
critics,
he
has
been
offered
big
banner
films.
And
he
would
like
to
prove
his
mettle
as
an
actor
in
these
films.
After
finishing
the
schedule
in
South
Africa,
Upen
will
be
flying
to
his
home
town
for
his
shoot
with
Vipul
Shah's
Namaste
London
Upen
wistfully
remarks,
"It
definitely
will
be
a
virtual
homecoming
for
me.
I
just
can't
wait
to
see
my
near
and
dear
ones.
But
till
then
I
will
be
putting
my
best
effort
for
Shakalaka
Boom
Boom'
