Nasser’s son Luthfudeen Basha set for his debut in Saivam

Veteran actor Nasser’s son, Luthfudeen Basha, has been finalised by director A.L. Vijay for his upcoming film Saivam which will show the debutant as his father’s onscreen grandson. Saivam also stars child actress Sara Arjun.

A thrilled Vijay said about the selection of the youngster in a statement, “’I had always been an ardent admirer of Nasser sir , and most of my movies will have a character sketched for him exclusively , even in ‘Saivam ‘ he plays the pivotal role of a grand father who holds the film together . We were looking out for a rank new comer to play his teen age grand son and when we came across Luthfudeen we decided he was the boy we were looking out for . His first frame reminded me of Nasser sir in ‘Nayagan’, apart from his looks i am very impressed with the discipline and dignity he had possessed. I will give credit to his upcoming!!!” The director added, "It was the most interesting part of shooting the film. Basha used to tell me he was scared of acting in front of his fathet. But, acting is in his genes, and he has done fabulous work in the film. He plays a Chennai-bred youngster who comes to a village to spend time with his grandfather and extended family."
