Sunny Deol Joins Dimple Kapadia's Nephew Karan Kapadia in His Debut Film Blank

Well, we have one more addition to the so-called nepotistic debutantes to look forward to! Dimple Kapadia's nephew Karan Kapadia is making his Bollywood debut with Blank. He is the son of Dimple's sister Simple, who has passed away in 2009 after suffering from cancer, and that makes him Twinkle Khanna's cousin. It was Dimple who took care of him after his mother's demise. Incidentally, even Simple had acted in a few movies in the '80s before her marriage. Twinkle Khanna's Birthday Wish for Mommy Dimple Kapadia is Unmissable!

As we mentioned before, the 24-year old youngster is making his debut with Blank, and joining him in the cast is none other than Sunny Deol. This makes an interesting casting coup for sure. Sunny, who was last seen in Yamla Pagla Deewana Phir Se, has acted with Karan's aunt Dimple in movies like Arjun, Narasimha and Aag Ka Gola. However, the more interesting trivia is that Sunny and Dimple are rumoured to be very close and they had once been spotted holding hands together in London in a leaked viral video. Is this the reason why Sunny had agreed to give his star-power to Blank? Sunny Deol to Reunite with his Ghayal Director Rajkumar Santoshi in Reviving Long-Delayed Fateh Singh?

We also wonder if Karan's brother-in-law and one of the reigning box office superstars, Akshay Kumar, will make a cameo in his debut film. In an earlier interview to Mumbai Mirror, Karan spoke about how he told Dimple about his acting ambitions. He had said, "They were initially surprised but understood that having grown up around their sets as a child, it was inevitable that I’d want to follow in their footsteps. They pointed out the risks involved and warned me I should be ready to work hard. And since then they have been very supportive and helped me get ready for the road ahead."

Talking more about the film, Blank is directed by Behzad Khambata. Tony D'souza of Blue and Azhar fame will be one of the producers in the film. Blank will release on January 11, 2019.
