We're talking about Armaan Verma, who plays Shah Rukh Khan's son in Ra.One. The 12-year-old gave Sonil Dedhia a sneak peek in one of the biggest releases of the year, while also talking about his equation with the superstar, Salman Khan, and why he likes villians better than heroes.
How were you approached for Ra.One? I had done a few commercials and always wanted to act. Lina Ashar, the founder-director of my school, is also a friend of my mother. She knew I was interested in acting, so one day she called my mother and told her to get in touch with Shanu, who is the casting director of Ra.One.
We went and met her and I gave around three to four rounds of auditions, where I had to do a little bit of action and dance. After that I went to Shah Rukh Khan's house to meet him and give my final audition. Finally, I was signed for the movie. Have you acted before? I have done a few commercials but have never done a film. I also attended the Ekjute Summer Workshop and the Young Talent group.
