Mumbai, Feb 8 (NationPress) Ajay Devgn's nephew Aaman Devgan has made his Bollywood debut with Abhishek Kapoor’s Azaad. Recently, he returned to his roots by visiting his former school, Jamnabai Narsee, to participate in the event Quinteseence.

During his visit, Aaman had the privilege of opening a football match for the students. Reflecting on his experience as an alumnus, he expressed, “There’s no better feeling than going back to the place that shaped your hopes and dreams. Jamnabai was that for me. It was such a nostalgic feeling to visit school again for the opening of a football match for the kids. The love I experienced from the teachers and students was truly heartwarming. All my old school memories came gushing back. I got remembered of the time when I used to spend hours on the football field playing. Opening the match for the young kids as an Alma Mater was such an honour.”

In preparation for his role in Azaad, Aaman developed a strong bond with the horse that plays a crucial part in the film. Discussing his rigorous training regimen, he mentioned, “I'm extremely fond of horses, and when I heard the script of the movie I knew in my heart I had to do it. I decided to devote my time understanding Azaad, his moods, and his routine, and body language to ensure that it looks absolutely real onscreen. I ensured before our shoot started I spent time with Azaad, had my meals with him and even slept in his stable and spent over 10 days with him throughout my shoot schedule. I have even cleaned his stool myself to ensure that he is comfortable in my presence and build the foundation of trust. It was an enriching experience for me, and I learnt so much about horses. Apart from horse riding, spending time with Azaad has actually made me do my scenes effortlessly.”

Azaad marked the B-town debut of both Aaman Devgan and Rashe Thadani.

Following Azaad, Aaman Devgan is set to begin shooting for his next project titled Jhalak. This film is directed by Umang Vyas and written by Tushar Ajgaonkar.
