The Filmfare nominations for the year 2007 are out but it's the Best Actor category is attracting a lot of attention. For the first time ever, a child actor, that is nine-year-old Darsheel-Safary, has been nominated for the Best Actor award.
Darsheel has been nominated for his portrayal of a dyslexic child in Aamir Khan's directorial debut Taare Zameen Par. Aamir has also been nominated for Best Actor in a Supporting Role category.
Darsheel will be competing with biggies like Shahrukh Khan, Akshay Kumar, Abhishek Bachchan and Shahid Kapur for the best actor title.
Darsheel was nominated for and won the Screen-Award for Best Child Actor in January this year. However, the award upset the young actor who said that the Best Actor Award should be his and he won't settle for a child actor award.
"I am playing the lead role, so I should get the Best Actor Award," says Darsheel.
