Filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali will be launching two new talents, Sharmin Sehgal and Meezaan with his yet-untitled upcoming production.
"Being an actor was not a childhood dream but it was Sanjay sir who not only gave me this dream but also believed in me and made it real by launching me," Meezaan said in a statement. Talking about her debut, Sharmin expressed, “When I decided to become an actor what excited me the most was the idea that I would feel emotions and experience experiences I wouldn’t normally have every day. I’m happy that this launch has allowed me to do that, making it a difficult but still fulfilling experience.”
Prerna Singh, CEO at Bhansali Productions Pvt Ltd (BPPL), said, "When I saw Meezaan for the first time in the office, the immediate thought that crossed my mind was such a versatile face. In this exciting phase of the industry, there couldn't have been a better time but now to launch him. We have signed him for three films and continue our aim at BPPL to give the industry more talent." For Sharmin, Prerna added, "In a time where character roles are more mainstream and audiences crave pure pleasure of story, launching and promoting new talent felt right as newness is the only change. With Sharmin’s launch, we are just being true to SLB’s vision and we have signed her for three films.”
Sharmin and Meezaan will be seen in a love story which is likely to release in the second half of 2019.
