Child artist Zain Khan arrived at Fun Cinema to celebrate the success of “Chain Khuli Ki Main Khuli”

Zain Khan, who worked in about 140 advertisements at the age of 13 including with Sachin Tendulkar. And has films like Krrish, Parineeta, My wife’s murder etc. in his filmography. Zain Khan recently arrived in Fun Cinema at Vidyadhar Nagar, Jaipur to celebrate the success of his latest movie “Chan Khuli Ki Main Khuli” staring Rahul Bose, Rajesh Khera and Kapil Dev. Fun Cinema staff welcomed him in a traditional way with tillak.

Zain is very happy with his latest release and with the response given by the audiences. He says, I played orphan - Karan in this movie. The film revolves around him, who lives in a dilapidated orphanage owned by a stern, uncouth warden, John Kakkad (Rajesh Khaira). Karan has two dreams- to have parents and to be a big cricketer. His inspiration is Kapil Dev and Kapil Dev’s bat in the’83 World Cup victory, becomes a magic bat for Zain.

Zain Khan shared his on location experiences during this visit. He says’ working with Rahul Bose is a tremendous experience. He his clever witted, punctual, and professional. I learnt so many things from him, lot of cricket too. More over his sense of humour is very nice; there will be a message even in his joke. The environment was similar to home and director Kituu Salooja made us very comfortable during the shooting.

It’s fun time for kids, specially with the Indo-Pak matches thrown in between and with both Zain and Rahul getting touchy-feely in the emotional bits.
