BANGALORE: Meet Armaan Jain: the latest addition to Bollywood’s biggest family, the Kapoor khandaan. So what if his last name is not Kapoor? He still is the grandson of Raj Kapoor and one of the few fourth generation actors in the Bollywood industry and is about to release his debut film Lekur Hum Deewana Dil in less than a month’s time.
Lekur Hum Deewana Dil also stars Deeksha Seth, Sudeep Sahir and Nikita Dutta, all of whom are new faces in Bollywood.
Deeksha has a few Telugu films to her credit, Sudeep appeared in an age old Kunal Ganjawala music video, but their faces still remain mostly unknown. The film is being directed by Arif Ali, brother of filmmaker Imtiaz Ali and is being produced by Saif Ali Khan and Dinesh Vijan’s Illuminati Films. A. R. Rahman is composing the film’s score.
Young Armaan’s arrival implies a very simple yet amusing fact. Within seven years of his arrival into the industry Ranbir Kapoor has already become the elder brother and will soon become generation ex. However, that does not stop him from helping his little cousin with the promotion of his film.
This past Tuesday, Ranbir and other Bollywood actors joined in to play a friendly football match to share the excitement of the FIFA world cup and also to promote Armaan’s debut film. Deeksha Seth, Imtiaz Ali and Arif Ali were also present at the event.
