Darsheel Safary will enjoy his vacation chilling with his friends

For the first time since Taare Zameen Par, child wonder Darsheel Safary will enjoy his vacation chilling with his friends and family. He usually shoots during vacation time.

Darsheel’s dad, Mitesh Safary tells us, "This will be his first vacation during which he won’t be shooting for any film or ad. He is very happy that after so many months he will be spending time with his mother, sister and me though we are always there with him on sets. His Diwali vacation was hectic as he was shooting for Priyadarshan’s film down South and he worked extra hard to complete an extra schedule which was to be shot during the Christmas vacation. So now he is happy, relaxed and all set to enjoy his Christmas vacation."

Darsheel is not letting his filmy career interrupt his education and extra-curricular activities. "Darsheel is currently completing his vacation homework and making sure his notes and syllabus is up-to-date with the rest of his classmates. He also wants to participate in his school annual function which will take place in January," says the proud daddy. Darsheel goes to Green Lawns High School in Breach Candy, South Mumbai.

Speaking about Christmas plans, Mr. Safary says, "We haven’t yet decided where we will go but it is too personal to disclose. Darsheel really wants to see Ghajini as he loves Aamir in the posters. He is also quite close to Aamir and wants to become a perfectionist like him when he grows up."

The shooting of Bum Bum Bhola is almost complete. His father says, "Only some patch work is remaining but we haven’t got the dates for that as yet."

After the phenomenal Taare Zameen Par, Darsheel will be seen in Bum Bum Bhola which is Priyadarshan’s adaptation of Iranian director Majid Majidi’s popular film, Children of Heaven. It stars Atul Kulkarni and Rituparna Sengupta as Darsheel’s parents. The unrest caused by the militants in Assam is the backdrop for the film which will release in summer 2009.
