Darsheel Safary: Get together the youngest superhero in the world: At 13, Darsheel Safary gets to play the youngest superhero in the world. And he's got Bollywood's top star Aamir Khan to endorse him. Khan called the media to his home to sing praises of his Taare Zameen Par discovery a few days before the release of Darsheel's new film Zokkomon.
Darsheel is visibly kicked about playing superhero, and he tells Sonil Dedhia all about it: You are the youngest actor ever to play a superhero in a film. Yes (smiles). It's a dream come true for me. I had always wanted to play a superhero but I'd assumed I wouldn't get to do that until I was 25. I'm lucky to have got the opportunity at 13.
How was it playing a superhero? It was a little difficult but also very exciting. I was thrilled to see the Zokkomon costume. Whenever I wore the costume, I felt like a superhero. It would make me feel that I possessed some superpowers for real. I would keep it on even after pack-up.
