Safary spent weeks with Satya Bhabha, the American-Indian actor who plays the grown up Salim, to get a hang of his character's grown-up body language and mannerisms.
Says Safary, "That's what Deepa aunty wanted. When I was on location in Sri Lanka, I becameu00a0 buddies with everyone in the unit. But I spent more time with Satya Bhabha because I was playing the younger version of his character. I had to get his body language and speaking method right. I didn't copy him, but I absorbed some of his mannerisms."
"I have two vacations coming up. And I'm hoping to use that free time to finish my work in Midnight's Children. Maybe even work on a new film," he adds.
Clearly, Safary's focus is on school. "I am in Class 9 and I need to concentrate on my studies. At the moment I can't think ofu00a0 any diversions."
