Safary was the first choice to play the lead in Monga’s kiddie movie but the director was forced to think of a replacement because the Aamir Khan protégé asked for a whopping Rs 1.25 crore as remuneration.

First choice
Monga auditioned Chheda on Thursday and was pleased with his new choice. “He’s supremely confident. I guess Slumdog Millionaire has worked wonders for Tanay,” says Monga.

The film is about two friends and their rapport with other kids. “Tanay is the main lead and I’m looking for a new face for the second lead,”

Monga says. The shooting is expected to start in April.
