Valli, directed by S.S. Rajamouli's father Vijayendra Prasad, will mark the debut of Mumbai-based actor Arhaan Khan. The shoot is complete and the film is currently in the post-production stage.
"Prasad sir came to Mumbai, got hold of my contact and narrated the story to me. I couldn’t say no to the movie because it was an interesting science fiction tale with a brilliant script,” says Arhaan, who has till date featured for top Indian fashion shows and many advertisements.
The young actor, who is a fitness freak, is also training in martial arts from Mihier Singh. This is Arhaan's first Telugu outing. “I have acted in a Hindi film, which is not released yet. I can't reveal more about it,” he says, adding he also signed two more Hindi films, all big banners.
He watches a lot of Telugu films and says this one will be a completely new experience for the audience. He has all praise for Vijayendra Prasad.
“I first met him before Bhajrangi Bhaijaan and then we used to catch up regularly. He is a very good script writer and a good human being. He is like my guru; I'm learning many things from him,” says Arhaan.
“I liked his film Eega. When I asked him what his inspiration was behind creating a story with a fly as lead. he told me how when out for a family dinner, he saw few people irritated with a fly and thats when he decided to make a movie with a fly as the lead,” says Arhaan.
Throwing light about the film's content, he says, "There are no adult or nude scenes in the film, but there are a few bold scenes which is going to be shown in a very classy manner. It’s a commercial film which will keep the audience on the edge of their seats.”
The actor follows Mahesh Babu, Allu Arjun and Prabhas and he dreams to share screen space with them one day. He is also open to any kind of roles.
