Riyaz Khan's son to make his debut in Pencil

Actor Riyaz Khan and Uma Riyaz Khan’s son Shariq Haasan will be making his screen debut in today’s release, Pencil, directed by Mani Nagaraj and featuring GV Prakash and Sri Divya. The young man has done a role of a villain in the film.

About his character in Pencil, Shariq says, “I play an unusual role in the film. My character has different shades—both positive and negative. I’m the son of rich parents in the film and it’s a playboy kind of character, who is naughty and carefree.”

Talking about how he bagged the role of an anti-hero in the film, he says, “My interests were primarily photography and football but I liked acting too. Director Mani Nagaraj approached me for the role and I really liked the script. Hence there was no need for a second thought to say yes. Acting wasn’t as easy as I thought. My parents helped me a lot and GV Prakash also was very helpful.” Click the Movie button below for more info:
