Many actors in Bollywood started their careers as child actors. Some actors performed so well that even today people know them as the childhood child of a big star. One such child artist was named ‘Chhota Amitabh’. You may not be able to recognise him by his real name, but if you see him on screen, you will recognise him. If you are fond of films, then you must have seen Amitabh Bachchan’s film ‘Muqaddar Ka Sikandar’. In this film, a thin boy enters, who is very poor and has lines of worry on his forehead. In the scene, a thief snatches a woman’s purse and the child brings back the purse from the thief and gives it to the woman then the woman makes him her son and this child becomes Amitabh Bachchan.
If you get a film and get to play the role of Amitabh Bachchan’s childhood, then what can be better than this? This actor is none other than Mayur Raj Verma. After his first film, Mayur Raj Verma won over the hearts of the audience and became a star overnight. Mayur Raj Verma started his film career with the superhit film ‘Muqaddar Ka Sikandar’. His role in this film was highly appreciated.
He was once the most expensive child artist
After getting films one after the other, he became known as the most famous child artist of Bollywood. Mayur started playing the role of Amitabh’s child artist in most of his films. Mayur’s stardom was such that he was the most expensive child artist of his time. He also played the role of Amitabh Bachchan’s childhood in a super duper hit film like ‘Laawaris’.
When he stunned people by becoming ‘Abhimanyu’, after this another big milestone came in his career when he got the role of ‘Abhimanyu’ in a show like Mahabharata. His brilliant acting in the role of Abhimanyu also won everyone’s hearts. The audience used to get goosebumps watching the acting of ‘Abhimanyu’ breaking the Chakravyuh in anger, however, even after playing such a big role in such a big show, Mayur did not get any big project after this.
