This is one youngster who is set to go places. Pratiek Babbar, who made his filmi debut in Abbas Tyrewala's Jaane Tu… Ya Jaane Na, is all to set to take his steps in Bollywood. The actor will soon be seen in Kiran Rao's Dhobi Ghaat.
But it seems that besides Aamir Khan and his wife, the actor has also impressed quite a few other filmi folk. It seems that Shabana Azmi's brother, Baba Azmi, who is all set to make his debut movie, is very keen to sign him. Baba, who is a cinematographer and has worked in films like Tezaab, Prem and Mr India is believed to have shortlisted Pratiek for one of the roles in his film. It seems that sister Shabana has taken to Pratiek in a big way and is believed to be going all out in promoting him. It will be remembered that Pratiek's mother, the late Smita Patil was the one of Shabana's closest competitor, where acting awards and accolades were concerned. But it seems that now, with the passage of time and after Smita Patil's sad demise, Shabana is willing to forget old rivalries and promote the late actress's son.
