Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, the 15-year-old teen sensation, set the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 ablaze, finishing with 776 runs in 16 matches.
Director Shekhar Kapur has now highlighted the talent of the young cricketer, saying he could have cast him in his cult film Masoom.
The film, which released in 1983, is an adaptation of the 1980 Erich Segal novel Man, Woman and Child.
Kapur is set to direct a contemporary reimagining of the film, which explores themes of identity, family, love and migration through a modern lens.
Sooryavanshi has been included in the 30-member probables list for the upcoming Asian Games and Sachin Tendulkar has expressed his desire to see him play Test cricket.
