Mumbai: Akshay Kharodia will soon make his acting debut in Hindi film industry with ‘Kandy Twist’, thanks to actor Suniel Shetty.
“I have been very lucky. Till now, I have done two films. My first film ‘Kandy Twist’ will release September 27 for which ‘Anna’ aka Suniel Shetty cast me,” said Akshay, who has done ads before this project.
Talking about getting a role in ‘Kandy Twist’, he said: “It’s a very interesting story. The day I went for the audition, it was raining very heavily, so most of the auditions got cancelled, and so had mine.
“I was coming back hopelessly wondering what I should do. Then someone saw me there and asked what happened. I told him that unfortunately the auditions had got cancelled and so I was going home. He asked me if I had good clothes with me. Since I had, he guided me to go up and give the audition. I got ready and went for the audition. When I went there, I saw there were two well-known actors sitting.
“So I went and sat there and the casting team saw me. They just said that they wanted me, they had not even auditioned me. Suniel Shetty, especially called me and said in front of the director that ‘This guy will go very far in Bollywood and he will be the star face of your movie’,” he recalled.
Akshay said he plays the lead in the film. “My character is an innocent, college-going guy. He is very intelligent but he gets very nervous when he talks to girls. It’s a story about him and what’s happening around him,” he added.
Actor Shiva Rindan, known for his numerous villain acts in the eighties and the nineties, will make his so lo directorial debut with “Kandy Twist”.
