Kapur said he wanted 15-year-old IPL star Suryavanshi in 'Masoom'
Turns out, filmmaker Shekhar Kapur said he would have liked to cast 15-year-old IPL star Vaibhav Suryavanshi in his iconic film Masoom, if only Suryavanshi hadn't become such a standout cricketer.
Kapur shared on X, "If Sooryavanshi wasn't such a sensational cricketer.. I could have cast him in Masoom the film (sic)."
Pretty cool crossover!
Shah and Azmi reportedly join 'Masoom'
Kapur's upcoming project, Masoom: The New Generation, will tackle themes like identity and migration with a fresh perspective while keeping the heart of the 1983 classic.
The film is reportedly set to feature legends Naseeruddin Shah and Shabana Azmi and starts shooting later this year.
Meanwhile, Suryavanshi smashed records by scoring a century for Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2025, making him the youngest ever to do so and clocking the fastest hundred by an Indian in tournament history.
