Arya Deo, 21-year-old son of actor Ajinkya Deo who is making his acting debut in the upcoming Marathi movie 'Thoda Tuzha Thoda Mazha' ('TTTM') which also has his father, has been offered to play Ajinkya's younger image in the film. Ajinkya tells us, 'Last year when Arya was in India during his college break, I was shooting for 'TTTM'. Director of the film Anil Kakade who is also a dear friend of mine, thought that Arya would be the ideal candidate for the role and offered him the part.
Arya agreed as the cameo role would not require much time.'
His son's interest in acting was a surprise, adds Ajinkya. 'Arya is currently pursuing his graduation in psychology and business in the US. So we had no idea that he had any inclination towards cinema but I think genetics are playing a role somewhere. Arya fits the requirements of an actor and also seems to have a flair for acting. But if he really wants to enter the film industry, I feel he should wait for another two years as 23-24 is the right age to get into acting today.'
