Ever since the release of the trailer, audiences have been eagerly awaiting the spiritual sequel to the 2007 superhit Taare Zameen Par, #SitaareZameenPar. The trailer promises an entertaining ride filled with love, laughter, and happiness, and has significantly heightened excitement around the film. Amidst all this, the makers are keeping the momentum alive by introducing the cast and now, it’s time to meet Vedant Sharma, aka Bantu.

Vedant Sharma will be seen playing the character of Bantu in Sitaare Zameen Par. As the makers introduced his character through a video, Vedant described Bantu as a shy person who frequently scratches his ears, believing it helps time pass more quickly. Known for his quirky habit of saying “You You You” to everyone, the video showcases a fun anecdote, when his mother visited the set after six months, she was surprised to see everyone doing the same! Adding to the charm, Vedant’s father revealed that Vedant is very fond of #GeneliaDeshmukh, and his love for her is clearly visible.

As the makers shared the video of Vedant Sharma’s video as Bantu, they further wrote,

“Scratching my ears so 20th June arrives early.
#SitaareZameenPar #SabkaApna ApnaNormal trailer out now, 20th June Only In Theatres.”
