Bengaluru :

 He is just 11 and is all set to become a film star. Shahbaaz Saleem, son of Additional Commissioner of Police (Traffic), Bengaluru, Dr. M.A. Saleem, who also served as Mysuru City Police Commissioner, plays one of the lead roles in a short film titled ‘ABC’ directed by Madan Ramvenkatesh.

Shahbaaz Saleem plays the character of an orphan, who despite doing odd jobs, leads a happy life while actress Shruthi Hariharan plays the character of a wealthy 25-year-old entrepreneur who, despite having everything, is restless thinking she has nothing.

‘ABC’, a 16-minute short film, showcases the dichotomy between two extreme yet simple individuals. It is an empowering film which has the dexterity and optimism to resonate amongst all sections of audience. The short film is all about triumph against all odds. For some, life is only about complexities. Some walk through this road aimlessly and some actually become the bridge. ‘ABC’ is just a sweet gentle reminder of this thought.

‘ABC’ is produced by Babu Saha and Shajan Samuel.

Speaking to Star of Mysore, Dr. M.A. Saleem, said that he was happy for his son to be starring in a short film and added that it was the producer Shajan Samuel, who is a good friend, who chose to cast Shahbaaz in the short film. Adding that he does not know much about the short film, Dr. Saleem said that he was proud of his son.

Appreciating the acting skills of Shahbaaz, Director Madan Ramvenkatesh said that he had lot of potential to be groomed into a good actor. He added that Shahbaaz, who has acted for the first time, was groomed for a period of one month by theatre artistes on acting and various other skills.

Madan said that he was very happy with the outcome and hoped that it would be received well by the people.
