Bhagyashree's Son Abhimanyu Dassani On His Debut: I Am Happy I Got My Debut Film On My Own
Bhagyashree's son Abhimanyu Dassani is all set to make his Bollywood debut with the action comedy, Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota, and the actor says he never used his mother's name to get work.
Bhagyashree's
son
Abhimanyu
Dassani
is
all
set
to
make
his
Bollywood
debut
with
the
action
comedy,
Mard
Ko
Dard
Nahi
Hota,
and
the
actor
says
he
never
used
his
mother's
name
to
get
work.
Coming
from
a
film
family,
there
is
always
a
notion
that
star
kids
benefit
from
having
an
easy
access
to
filmmakers.
But
Abhimanyu
says
that
was
not
the
case
with
him,
as
not
many
people
knew
him.
"Our
parents
have
kept
us
away
from
all
this.
I
do
not
know
anyone
here.
I
am
happy
I
got
my
debut
film
on
my
own.
I
gave
30
rounds
of
auditions
for
this
film.
On
the
first
day
when
I
went
I
did
not
get
the
chance
to
give
audition
and
the
same
thing
happened
on
the
second
day
as
well.
"Third
day
I
went
with
my
martial
arts
trainer
and
that's
when
I
got
to
give
my
first
ever
audition.
After
that
there
was
a
month
long
audition
process
where
I
got
selected," Abhimanyu
told
PTI.
Abhimanyu
reveals
it
was
only
when
he
was
shortlisted
in
the
top
ten,
the
team
got
to
know
that
he
is
Bhagyashree's
son.
"When
I
was
signing
the
film,
that
time
it
was
with
Phantom
Films
and
the
executive
producer
called
Tanvi
and
told
me
that
why
I
did
not
tell
them
that
I
am
Bhagyashree's
son.
This
I
had
done
deliberately.
I
believe
if
I
am
talented
enough
my
work
will
speak
for
itself.
I
don't
need
to
throw
names."
He
signed
Mard
Ko
Dard
Nahi
Hota,
directed
by
Vasan
Bala,
when
it
was
with
Phantom
Films
two
years
ago
and
started
shooting
in
November
last
year.
His
debut
film
has
been
selected
to
be
premiered
at
the
Toronto
International
Film
Festival
in
September
and
Abhimanyu
says
he
could
not
have
asked
for
anything
more.
"I
am
feeling
happy,
proud
and
honoured.
This
is
the
first
film
that
has
got
into
Midnight
Madness
section
of
the
festival.
It
is
an
amazing
opportunity
that
we
have
received."
Describing
the
film
as
a
coming-of-age
story,
Abhimanyu
says,
it
is
about
following
your
dreams,
whether
you
are
a
six-year-old
or
a
60-year-old.
The
film
has
lot
of
action
and
the
debutante
did
train
in
martial
arts,
boxing,
gymnastics
and
weapon
training
among
other
things.
"I
spent
nine
months
on
training
for
the
film.
It
is
an
action-comedy
film
and
it
is
different
from
what
Bollywood
has
ever
seen.
It
is
a
real
fight,
hand-to-hand
combat."
Since
it
was
his
first
film,
everyday
was
a
new
adventure
for
Abhimanyu.
he
said,
"Before
I
started
shooting,
I
disconnected
from
everyone
and
went
into
solitude.
I
used
to
only
talk
on
work
related
things.
I
am
new
in
this
industry,
haven't
been
associated
with
it
so
it
was
all
a
new
learning
experience."
