Suneel Darshan, whose 'Shakalaka Boom Boom' is ready for release, feels there's a concerted effort to pull down his new protege Upen Patel. But Darshan is quite confident about Upen and says he is going to be a big star. 'I'm so confident about him. His body language is amazing. And my presentation of Upen shows what magic an actor can create if the director has faith in him,' Darshan told IANS.
'I don't want to compare him with Akshay Kumar. But they are very similar…. Except that Upen is 15 years younger. That difference is bound to show. Also, Upen is naturally urbane and chic. I'm not denying Akshay's ability to put in hard work.'
Darshan is vocal about Upen being sidelined in the promos of Vipul Shah's 'Namastey London', releasing Friday. 'I really don't want to comment on Akshay and his loyal friends. I'm happy that Upen is so prominently projected in my trailers. All I'll say is casting a newcomer is a far bigger responsibility than casting an established actor. A filmmaker must not let a newcomer down.' He says he was very happy when Upen got a role in 'Namastey London'. …
As for Kangana, 'I feel the girl holds great potential. She isn't conventionally glamorous. But she has the body language of today's woman and I have given her a role that matches her personality. We had cast another girl in the role. But Kangana was ideal. I feel emotionally for her. She's a girl from a small town making it on her own in our cinema.' ….read more
