Ahan and I making our debuts with actioners is coincidental: Suniel Shetty

The actor talks about the clash of his Malayalam film with son Ahan Shetty’s debut; feels he couldn’t achieve what his son achieved with his first film

Actor Ahan Shetty recently made his acting debut with Tadap. His performance as an action hero who seeks revenge has received a thumbs from the film fraternity. Father Suniel Shetty, who is currently beaming with pride, says, “I never realised that he is such a thinking actor. You always feel ghar ki murgi daal baraabar. As a father, we always try correcting them because you feel that you know more than them. Suddenly, when I saw my boy on the big screen, it hit me that after doing 120 films, I couldn’t do what he has done!”

29 years back, Suniel marked his debut as an actor with Balwaan (1992), an actioner. “Ahan and I making our debuts with actioners is coincidental,” he says. But the 60-year-old is quick to add that it was a call that his son had to take to start his career with a deglamorourised role.

“There are a lot of negatives that he began with. He came as angry character, with a face that is distorted and not pretty all the time. He didn’t shave, had under-eye circles, burnt lips and messed up hair. But his gamble has paid. His confidence and self-belief have worked wonders for him,” he shares.

Suniel’s Malayalam film, Marakkar: Lion of the Arabian Sea, hit the screens a day before the release of Tadap. Talking about how a box office clash with his son upset him, he says, “I wasn’t aware that they are releasing the film. Though I wish well for the film, I knew where my priorities were. It was my son’s debut. You see my timeline or any posts on social media… it was only about Ahan. As a father, I don’t think I was wrong. My priority was father Suniel Shetty and not actor Suniel Shetty.”
