Late Bollywood star Amrish Puri’s grandson Vardhan Puri is all set to enter Bollywood film industry and make his debut in an upcoming psychological thriller to be produced by Jayantilal Gada.
In an interview to Mumbai Mirror, Vardhan said that his grandfather’s influence on him is complete. His grandfather is the ‘God’ to whom he prays. “Dadu is the God whom I pray to. I was so close to him that I would sleep between him and my grandmother. When he passed away, for me it was like losing the protective cover of an umbrella. It was then, that I decided that if I do something, it would be for my grandfather and this film is an ode to him".

The upcoming actor also revealed that he was supposed be launched by Jayantilal with a period movie which never took off. Though, the opportunity came his way in form of another film by the producer which will go on floors by September. The movie will be in a space similar to Hollywood director David Fincher’s psychological thriller ‘Gone Girl’.
Vardhan has been an assistant director at Yash Raj Films and previously assisted Habib Faisal on ‘Ishaqzaade’ and ‘Daawat-e-Ishq’ and Manish Sharma on ‘Shuddh Desi Romance’.
It was after Amrish Puri's death in 2005 that Vardhan decided to take the actor's legacy forward.
