'Every father wants his child to be better than him'

Ahan Shetty's launch film Tadap: An Incredible Love Story is being touted as Director Milan Luthria's most intense romantic film till date.

While most of his films have featured male protagonists in macho conflicts (Luthria's debut film Kachche Dhaage pitched stepbrothers Ajay Devgn and Saif Ali Khan against each other while his last release Badshaho had Devgan against Emraan Hashmi), Tadap is his first film about the conflict of love.

"Ahan is being launched by the same producer Sajid Nadiadwala who launched his father Suniel Shetty. But while Suniel's launch Waqt Hamara Hai was an out and out action film, Tadap is a very emotional film," a source tells Subhash K Jha.

Ahan, the source adds, is far more assured and confident on screen than his father was in his debut film.

"Every father wants his child to be better than him," says Suniel Shetty. "If Ahan is better than me, then I am the proudest father in the universe. He is a very hardworking, sincere boy. I was never so focused on my career at his age."
