He hasn't any formal training in acting, yet delivers impressive performance for the
character of Kesar he has played in the upcoming film Saankal.
20 something, the 5 feet 8 inches boy Chetan Sharma stands tall at the International Film Festivals where his film Saankal received overwhelming response.
Saankal is based on a true story about the exploitation of women in a remote village in Rajasthan. The women are supposed to get married within their own community, no matter whatever the age of the boy is. A woman is forced to get married to a 10 year old boy as per the age-old traditions of their 'Kabila"(comunity).
The character of Kesar is portrayed over 3 age groups, out of which he plays the adolescent and then a middle aged villager.
When enquired who is his inspiration, Chetan says, "I am highly inspired by the roles Robert DeNero plays, and in Bollywood, Anupam Kher is my role model for the character played in his first film."
