Darsheel Safary, who is known for his debut performance as a precocious young child in Taare Zameen Par (2007), will now be seen in a psychological thriller named Tibba. Directed by Gaurav Khati, the film is a joint production venture between Content Engineers and Dancing Shiva Films. 

But that’s not all. Both the production houses have also signed Safary for two more films that are currently in the developmental stage. 

Sharing his happiness at bagging the film, Safary said in a statement, “I was waiting for the right script for a while and I sincerely believe that the psychological thriller Tibba is a project that will help satiate the creative hunger within me. I am happy that the team of Content Engineers and Dancing Shiva Films are open to experimenting and exploring out-of-the-box stories and scripts. These unique disruptive ideas will excite youth and families all across the globe.” 

Utpaal Acharya, chief executive officer [CEO] at Content Engineers, feels that actors like Safary are the need of the hour for the industry. “The film industry needs young talent and Darsheel fits the bill in every possible manner,” he said. “He is not only a very good actor but has transformed into a handsome young man. We are happy to have signed him for two more films that will see his different shades in different genres.”

Safary was last seen in the Voot Select web-series Aadha Ishq (2022). After Taare Zameen Par, he acted as a child artiste in films like Bumm Bumm Bole (2010) and Zokkomon (2011).
