Navdeep Chhabra has already caught the eye of many in the industry even before the release of his debut film Kuch Kuch Locha Hai. The film directed by Devang Dholakia is a comic caper and will see Navdeep playing Ram Kapoors son who is an aspiring musician and a thorn in his fathers side. However, this debutant from Delhi already has another two films in his kitty. It seems that Navdeep has been signed by Girish Mallik of Jal fame for an international film, the details for which are being kept under tight wraps. Not only will we be seeing the handsome young actor in Girish Mallik’s film but Navdeep has bagged a second film with his first director, Devang Dholakia. The film titled Zoom- Straight to the top will go on floor shortly after the release of Kuch Kuch Locha Hai.
Said Navdeep, “ It’s been a wonderful year for me. The response that I have gotten for Kuch Kuch Locha Hai has me feeling very humbled. Then to be able to say that I have two more films is something that any newcomer would be grateful for. Girish Mallik is an acclaimed filmmaker and his vision and talent have made waves, not just in India but in the international circuit as well. While I cant say much about the international project with Girish at this point, I have already started preparing myself for the role. The film is an action comedy and I have been working hard with my trainer Sujit John on my mixed martial arts and a specially designed workout regime. I’m being told the results are now showing. Zoom-Straight to the top is a film which is very close to my heart. To be able to work with my mentor and father figure Devang Dholakia again is a dream come true. The film deals with a young boys journey through tinsel town and it’s a journey that I’m living right now. Workshops on the film are slated to start right after the release of Kuch Kuch Locha Hai.”
Devang Dholakia who is busy with the release of KKLH said, “ Navdeep is talented, good looking, effortless infront of the camera and a true find. There was no one else that fitted the character in Zoom. Working with Navdeep has been a lot of fun through KKLH and as we roll into Zoom, I look forward to another journey with him.”
Well, the stars are clearly shining on Navdeep with two films in his kitty and one on release. Here’s wishing this young actor the very best.
