Shekhar Suman says he would like to be pitted against his son Adhyayan in a movie.

 

"It becomes very cliche to play father and son on screen. It'll be more interesting if we are pitted against each other as actors and not father and son," Shekhar said.

"However we'll be playing father-and-son in the big-screen adaptation of 'Dekh Bhai Dekh' (hit TV series), where Adhyayan will play the role of Sameer chachu's grown-up son," he explained.

The father-son pair will also be seen together in two of Shekhar's home productions, for which the actor-turned-politician will handle the megaphone himself.

Talking about their relationship, Shekhar said, "Adhyayan and I are more like friends unlike any other father and son. We share a strong relationship and have a lot of fun together. Of late we've also started having script reading sessions together."

"It's always better to have a role model in the family. People tease him to look at me and learn and I keep inspiring him as he is a very inspired kid. Whether it was losing weight (Adhyayan was earlier 110 kg), gym and exercises, singing lessons, acting or dancing, I coax him to learn everything," he said.

"These days I am pushing him to learn the guitar, while I am taking some piano lessons," he added.

Adhyayan has not created ripples in the three movies he has acted in – ‘Haal-e-Dil’, ‘Raaz - The Mystery Continues’ and ‘Jashnn: The Music Within’. Nevertheless, Shekhar gifted him a BMW 7 series for his work in 'Jashnn'.
