Angad Bedi Takes Inspiration From Salman Khan’s Character in Kuch Kuch Hota Hai For His South Debut Hi Nanna

Angad Bedi's South debut, Hi Nanna, will see him playing an ultimate romantic hero, just like Salman Khan played in Karan Johar's mega hit, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (1998).

Paying homage and taking a cue from one of the most beloved romantic films of the late '90s, Angad's character, Arvind, draws inspiration from Salman Khan's iconic role as Aman in Kuch Kuch Hota Hai.

Angad plays the love interest of Mrunal Thakur, with striking similarities to Salman Khan's portrayal of Aman, the selfless lover who sacrifices his own feelings for the happiness of his beloved.Speaking about the same, Angad said, "People will find a lot of similarities between the characters I play of Arvind in Hi Nanna and Aman, who was played by Salman Bhai in Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. Though I don’t think one can compare to the great Salman Bhai, it is fair. But yeah, that character does have similarities. When I even read the script, it reminded me of Aman from Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. Hi Nanna is a modern love story, but because Kuch Kuch Hota Hai is such an important film and changed the romance genre forever, Hi Nanna in many ways will remind people of Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, especially my character, Arvind. But yeah, those are some big shoes to fill, and I have earnestly given my best to the character of Arvind in the most honest way possible."
