From Sara Ali Khan and Janhvi Kapoor to Ishaan Khatter, 2018 saw several star kids making their debuts in the Bollywood film industry. And now we hear that joining the bandwagon will be none other than Padmini Kolhapure's and filmmaker Pradeep Sharma’s son Priyaank Sharma. As per a report in a leading daily, Priyaank will be starring in Akshaye Khanna starrer Sab Kushal Mangal, which is being helmed by first-time director Karan Kashyap and bankrolled by Nitin Manmohan’s daughter, Prachi.
The doting mother Padmini shared her excitement and confirmed to the daily, "The atmosphere at home has always been non-filmi, there was no pressure on Priyaank to become an actor or a filmmaker. The choice is his." Further recalling how her son was interested in dramatics, Padmini added that Priyaank has done a one-year acting course from The Lee Strasberg Institute in New York. Prachi too revealed that she knew Priyaank from childhood and feels that he was perfect for the role.
