Wednesday, 7th June 2017, 07:10 PM IST Boman Irani has been offered the role of child's rights and education activist, Nobel laureate Kailash Satyarthi in Brahmanand Singh's next, titled ‘Jhalki’. Boman was heard quoting that the movie is about a little girl looking for her brother, while working as a child labourer. He added, "Kailash Satyarthi is a person every Indian should be in awe of. I shot at Mirzapur, it was 47 degrees. It’s a wonderful realization to go there and understand the problems people in different parts of the country go through." Boman claims to have not met the Noble Laureate yet but does hope to meet him soon. Talking about the role, he says that it is not about imitating Kailash Satyarthi's voice or the way he speaks, but understanding his beautiful way with children. "He is so fearless while carrying out rescue operations. At the same time, with the kids, he was like a child himself. You take the spirit of the person instead of resorting to mimicry,” added Irani. Kailash Satyarthi is a child’s rights and education advocate and an activist against child labour. He founded the Bachpan Bachao Andolan in 1980 and has worked towards protecting the rights of more than 83,000 children from 144 countries.
