"Slumdog Millionaire" child actors Azharuddin Mohammed Ismail and Rubina Ali will feature in Vasu Bhagnani's upcoming film "Kal Kissne Dekha" which also marks the debut of his son Jackky Bhagnani.
The two children, who were plucked from a Mumbai slum to star in Danny Boyle's multiple Oscar-winning film as young Latika and Salim shot a sequence with Jackky last night.
"There is an airport sequence in the film where these children are returning home after attending the Oscars and are caught in some kind of chaos. I am the one who saves them," the junior Bhagnani told PTI over phone from Mumbai.
Jackky said it was his father Vasu Bhagnani's idea to rope in the children for the film.
"It was dad's idea to have Azhar and Rubina in the film. With the success of Slumdog Millionaire they are very popular and people would easily relate to them in the movie," he added.
The film, which was previously scheduled for release in March, will now hit theatres in May.
Directed by Vivek Sharma and produced by Vasu Bhagnani, "Kal Kissne Dekha" will also serve as a launchpad for Vaishali Desai, the niece of late filmmaker Manmohan Desai.
