If I am talented my work will speak for itself, says Bhagyashree's son Abhimanyu

Bhagyashree's son Abhimanyu Dassani is all set to make his Bollywood debut with the action comedy, "Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota", and the actor says he never used his mother's name to get work.

Coming from a film family, there is always a notion that star kids benefit from having an easy access to filmmakers. But Abhimanyu says that was not the case with him as not many people knew him.

"Our parents have kept us away from all this. I do not know anyone here. I am happy I got my debut film on my own. I gave 30 rounds of auditions for this film. On the first day when I went I did not get the chance to give audition and the same thing happened on the second day as well.

"Third day I went with my martial arts trainer and that's when I got to give my first ever audition. After that there was a month long audition process where I got selected," Abhimanyu told PTI.

Abhimanyu reveals it was only when he was shortlisted in the top ten, the team got to know that he is Bhagyashree's son.

"When I was signing the film, that time it was with Phantom Films and the executive producer called Tanvi and told me that why I did not tell them that I am Bhagyashree's son. This I had done deliberately. I believe if I am talented enough my work will speak for itself. I don't need to throw names."
"I am feeling happy, proud and honoured. This is the first film that has got into Midnight Madness section of the festival. It is an amazing opportunity that we have received."
"I spent nine months on training for the film. It is an action-comedy film and it is different from what Bollywood has ever seen. It is a real fight, hand-to-hand combat."
