Ajit warned son Shehzad Khan against mimicking his voice in films After Andaz Apna Apna: ‘Ainda aisi himakat mat karna’ | Bollywood News

Veteran actor Shehzad Khan recently recalled mimicking his father Ajit’s iconic voice for his character Vinod Bhalla in the Aamir Khan and Salman Khan’s Andaz Apna Apna. Shehzad also shared his father’s reaction to his role.
In an appearance on Radio Nasha, Shehzad spoke about his experience working on Andaz Apna Apna and the consequences of adopting his father’s iconic cadence for his role. He said, “The entire casting of the film was done Rajkumar Santoshi. Only for this character, Vinay Kumar (producer of the film) said that ‘this role will be done Shehzad.’ When I went there, Raj told me about the role and told me that I had to use my father’s voice for the character, and that’s how the journey started.”

Shehzad shared how his father was completely clueless about Andaz Apna Apna and was made aware of his son’s work someone else. “I never told my father about the film, and some people told him, ‘Your son’s new film has come out. A lot of people are talking about it. He has used your voice.’ Then he saw the film and told me, ‘Ainda aisi himakat mat karna (Don’t ever repeat this),’” added the actor.
