Akshay Kumar shares a close association with D’Souza — the two worked together in Blue (2009) and Boss (2013). It was at one of his dos that the actor introduced the filmmaker to his brother-in-law, a chance meeting that set the ball rolling.

Having harbored acting ambitions since his childhood, Karan says that both Kumar and his aunt Dimple Kapadia were surprised when he, only 14 then, told them about his aspirations. “They didn’t see it coming because I have always been an introvert. But, once I told them, they were extremely supportive.

They both warned me that it won’t be an easy journey ahead. At the time, I was this chubby kid who thought I only had to lose weight and bagging films thereafter won’t be too tough,” he says with a sardonic smile.

At a time when nepotism is a raging debate in the industry, Karan agrees that as a star kid, he does enjoy certain advantages. The youngster is currently working on his physique for his debut project with D’Souza. About launching Karan, D’Souza confirms, “Yes, we will make a film with Karan, but it is too early to say anything.
