5 things you need know about Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s new blue-eyed boy Meezaan Jafri

Sanjay Leela Bhansali has always introduced new talented actors on the big screen. After all, who can forget that the filmmaker had introduced Ranbir Kapoor and Sonam K Ahuja to our films. He even presented us with powerful jodis like Salman Khan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh. Clearly, the filmmaker has a well-honed eye to spot young, promising talents. Now he is all set to launch Jaaved Jaaferi’s son Meezaan Jafri in his next film.

Meezaan, who has grown seeing his work and trained under SLB, is obviously very excited with his debut. He even talked about it briefly and said, “Being an actor was not a childhood dream but it was Sanjay Sir who not only gave me this dream but also believed in me and made it real by launching me.” Now, we all are also very excited to see this young lad on the big screen. But before that happens, here are a few things that you need to know about this ambitious debutant:

# Before being launched under the banner of SLB’s home banner Bhansali Productions as a hero, Meezan had worked as an assistant director for Bhansali’s Bajirao Mastani.

# The debutant actor is a trained theatre actor and has also trained in martial arts.

# He’s inherited his dancing genes from his father Jaaved Jaaferi and impressed Bhansali with his skills during the audition for his untitled film.

# The young boy has studied filmmaking in New York for over four years.

# Meezan has been signed for three films produced under the banner of SLB production house.

Apart from Meezan, Sanjay Leela Bhansali is all set to launch his niece Sharmin Segal as well. The lady has been groomed for the film and just like Meezan has been signed for three films.
