Amrish Puri's grandson Vardhan Puri
Late actor Amrish Puri’s grandson Vardhan Puri is gearing up for his Bollywood debut. As per the reports of Mumbai Mirror, filmmaker Jayantilal Gada will launch Vardhan in a romantic thriller. The shooting of Vardhan’s film will start in September. Vardhan has earlier assisted filmmaker Habib Faisal in his film Ishaqzaade and Daawat-e-Ishq. Vardhan has also been assistant director at Yash Raj Films.
Talking about his Bollywood debut, Vardhan in an interview with Mumbai Mirror said, ‘’I was supposed to start off with a period-drama with Jayantibhai, but for some reason that didn't work out. He approached me later for this film which I loved and immediately gave my nod to. It's a performance-oriented role and in terms of treatment it will be in a space similar to (Hollywood director David Fincher's psychological thriller) Gone Girl."
He further added, ‘’Dadu is the God whom I pray to. I was so close to him that I would sleep between him and my grandmother. When he passed away, for me it was like losing the protective cover of an umbrella. It was then, that I decided that if I do something, it would be for my grandfather and this film is an ode to him."
