It seems like the stars are shining bright for this newly discovered talent of Bollywood. Shiney who got noticed with his debut offbeat film Hazaar Khwaahishein Aisi, has slowly got the commercial acclaim for his hit performances in Gangster, Woh Lamhe and has bagged a Mira Nair film now. It’s even more special as he replaces Saif Ali Khan in this AIDS-related film.
The film to be directed by Mira Nair is actually a short film dealing with the sensitive issue. It has Irfan Khan in the protagonist’s role along with Shiney. Saif reportedly backed away from the project and Shiney stepped in.
Apparently Shiney Ahuja is keeping busy with his hectic schedule as he’s juggling various assignments at the same time. He’s currently working Sudhir Mishra’s Khoya Khoya Chand, Anurag Basu’s Metro and Priyadarshan’s Chandramukhi. That’s some number for a relative newcomer!
