The father-son duo arrived at the screening in the swanky red beast
Actor Adhyayan Suman and his father, veteran star Shekhar Suman are having a moment under the spotlight and a good one at that. The two will be seen together in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's upcoming magnum opus Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar. On Wednesday, the father-son duo turned heads at the screening of the Netflix show when they arrived at the venue in a swanky red Ferrari. The Ferrari 296 GTS, worth a whopping Rs 6.24 crore, was the centre of all attention, even as Adhyayan and Shekhar Suman stepped out looking dapper as always. While Adhyayan Suman features as Zoravar in Heeramandi, Shekhar Suman plays Zulfiqar Ahmed in the period drama.
About landing a role in the much-awaited project after a dry spell at the box office, Adhyayan Suman told News18 that he almost didn't get the part. "I got a call from Shruti Mahajan (casting director) to audition for Zorawar's character. I was celebrating my parents' marriage anniversary somewhere in the Himalayas. I got the call when I was travelling there. At one o'clock in the afternoon, I was told that Mr Bhansali would be seeing my audition at three. Somehow, I managed to stop the car in the middle of the mountains and make an audition clip sitting in the car. I begged, borrowed and stole some network from people and sent the tape. Unfortunately, I didn't get the role. To be honest, if I had auditioned and not gotten the part in any other filmmaker's film or series, I would just let it pass. But this was Sanjay Leela Bhansali's show and it's every actor's dream to work with him. So, I was extremely disappointed that it didn't work out for me,” he said.
However, things took a welcome turn for the actor soon. Sharing more, Adhyayan said: “My father always tells me that if something is meant to be, it will be and nobody can snatch anything away that's destined to happen. The shoot of Heeramandi started with the other characters. Two days before they were supposed to start shoot with the actor who was supposed to play Zorawar, he was suddenly asked to leave and I was brought in. It's just outstanding how it all happened.”
