Anirrudh Rawal, son of actor Paresh Rawal, is set to make his big-screen debut in the upcoming film Awarapan 2. He has been mentored by veteran actor Naseeruddin Shah for his role.
The film also stars Disha Patani. Anirrudh's character, Sikander, is autistic by birth and finds refuge in his sister Zoya, played by Patani, who protects him from a gangster father and a poisonous younger brother.
The casting of a star kid with a disability role puts focus on representation in Bollywood. Autism portrayals have a mixed record in Indian cinema, the film's treatment of Sikander's character will be watched closely. The involvement of Naseeruddin Shah as a mentor adds acting pedigree. Paresh Rawal's son entering the industry follows a pattern of second-generation actors, though box-office success is never guaranteed. The film's release date is yet to be announced.
