New Kid On The Block: Luv Sinha Luv Sinha, son of actor-politician Shatrughan Sinha, is yet another star son lured by the glitz and glamour of tinsel town. The young Luv makes his acting debut with Sadiyaan this year, produced by none other than his father's company Shotgun Entertainment, and directed by Raj Kanwar. The film also boasts of veteran actors such as Rekha, Hema Malini and Rishi Kapoor. LUV'S father is a well-known personality in the film industry and is leaving no stone unturned to make his son's launch in Bollywood a hit. It has been reported that Shatrughan has set very high standards for Luv and he went through many scripts before deciding on one and finalising Raj Kanwar to direct.
The star son has a lot to live up to; his father proved himself as one of the leading actors in his time. In a recent interview, Luv admitted that being the son of an actor is a blessing, but it also puts a lot of pressure on him because he has to "live up to the high standards" set by his dad.
Luv had enrolled to FTII (Film and Television Institute of India) on his father's instructions and polished his acting skills under Roshan Taneja, who also trained Shatrughan before he made his Bollywood debut. Also, Roshan Taneja was not a part of the institute's faculty; he was roped in to take special classes just for Luv.
Other than acting, Luv is also prepared for the song-and-dance routines that come with commercial films. The actor has been trained in Indian and Western dance by Deepak Rawat, making sure he has all the skills required to be the complete Bollywood hero.
