'Kismat Konnection' also introduces an actor
When the film 'Kismat Konnection' was announced, the two reasons why it grabbed the headlines and got good attention of the media was because its director Aziz Mirza was making a movie after a long break and given his liking for making light hearted feel good movies, every one was waiting for the movie to get released. The presence of Shahid Kapoor appearing as the leading man after the immensely successful 'Jab We Met' also went on to make this movie occupy the top position in the priority list of movie lovers as a must watch film. Later on the rumors about a new romance going on between Shahid and Vidya Balan during the shooting in Toronto also spread like wild fire adding up the pre release hype of the film. Among all this hype and hoopla the media failed to notice a new actor who is playing an important role in this film. Amit Varma who is taking his first step in the Tinsel Town with 'Kismat Konnection' is playing one of the love interests of the heroine. The guy was selected by Aziz Mirza's son as he thought Amit will be looking perfect opposite the beautiful Vidya. If the film becomes a block buster it will be a great chance for Amit to get noticed as in the majority of his scenes, he will be sharing the screen space with either Shahid or Vidya. Amit became very nervous when he met Vidya for the first time, but as the days progressed he became more confident of himself with the support and help of Shahid and Vidya. The debutant says that Aziz Mirza's encouragement and the way his co stars helped him with the rehearsals that put him at ease made the acting part very comfortable and simple for him.
