It's not easy to become a star: Anil Sharma

#FilmmakerAnilSharma, who has worked with stars like #Dharmendra and #SunnyDeol, is ready to launch his son #Utkarsh in #filmdom with #Genius. He says that while his son has the calibre to be successful, stardom is a tough feat to achieve.

"I think that to be a star, you need at least 10 to 15 hit films behind you. It's not easy to become a star. It's a long journey and I feel Utkarsh has the calibre to pull a film on his shoulders. If the script is right, nothing can go wrong," Anil told. 

"Utkarsh has always been a very sharp student. Besides, he did his direction and acting course from Los Angeles. He is a brilliant child and he is very focused with his work," he added.

Utkarsh worked as a child artiste in his father's directorial "Gadar: Ek Prem Katha". He essayed the son of characters played by Sunny and Ameesha Patel.

Talking about "Genius", Anil said: "This script has an unusual subject. I have been working on this script for the last two years. The film is set in today's time and it's not a period drama.

"I can't reveal much about the film right now. It's a very young and youthful film."

"Genius" will go on floors from November.
