Looks matter

John has recommended the two young actors for the boyfriend’s role. Says a source, “The role requires a good-looking hero. It might not be the lead role, but it’s a parallel lead in the thriller. John, being the producer, is keen on casting either Sooraj or Harsh. John, a fitness enthusiast, wants a fit actor for the role, and he happens to be close to Harsh.”
