Ace filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt recently appeared on Indian Idol with his daughter, actress Pooja Bhatt. During the show, he discussed casting Kunal Kemmu in his films, starting as a child actor in “Hum Hain Rahi Pyaar Ke” and later as a lead in “Kalyug.”
On the show, a contestant performed the song ‘Jiya Dhadak Dhadak Jaye’ from “Kalyug,” prompting Mahesh Bhatt to reminisce about casting Kunal Kemmu in the lead role of the movie. He praised Kemmu’s acting skills and expressed confidence in his talent.
“Kalyug,” a crime drama released in 2005, was directed by Mohit Suri and produced by Mahesh Bhatt and Mukesh Bhatt under Vishesh Films. The film, set in the world of the porn industry, delved into themes of exploitation, crime, and morality.
Kunal Kemmu, who played the lead in “Kalyug,” began his acting career as a child artist and has since been part of various successful films like “Go Goa Gone” and “Golmaal.” He is married to actress Soha Ali Khan, with whom he has a daughter named Inaaya Kemmu.
