Child
artiste
Darsheel
Safary,
who
stole
the
hearts
of
the
film
lovers
with
her
performance
in
Taare
Zameen
Par,
has
bagged
another
big
project.
He
has
been
roped
in
to
play
the
role
of
Saleem
Sinai
in
Deepa
Mehta"s
adaptation
of
Midnight"s
Children
by
Salman
Rushdie.
American-Indian
actor
Satya
Bhabha
will
play
the
role
of
the
older
Saleem
while
Safary
will
play
the
young
Saleem.
Sources
said
that
Safary
was
in
Colombo
shooting
for
the
film.
He
even
celebrated
his
birthday
with
the
cast
and
crew
of
the
film.
However,
his
dad
is
not
willing
to
reveal
the
details.
“We"re
really
not
allowed
to
talk
about
it.
But
Darsheel
has
missed
out
a
lot
on
his
school
because
he
was
shooting
out
of
the
country.
Now
that
he
is
back,
I"m
being
very
strict
with
his
studies.
He
is
not
allowed
to
miss
school,
although
he
is
promoting
his
new
film
Zokkomon.
After
school
he
has
to
go
for
tuition
without
fail," Mumbai
Mirror
quoted
Safary's
dad
Mitesh
as
saying.
“He
is
in
Class
9.
He
has
to
keep
up
with
the
rest
of
the
class.
If
he
falls
behind
because
of
his
shootings,
he
may
not
be
able
to
make
good
grades.
What
guarantee
is
there
that
his
future
as
an
actor
is
ensured
just
because
he
is
successful
in
that
field
now?" he
added.
