Actor Aamir Khan's superhit film Taare Zameen Par , released in 2007, marked his directorial debut. In the film, Darsheel Safary played the pivotal role of Ishaan. Remember who played his best friend in school? Ishaan's friend was Rajan, played by actor Tanay Chheda. He also had an important part in the movie. Do you know how Tanay Chheda looks now?
Tanay Chheda has acted in several films as a child artist, among which Taare Zameen Par holds special significance. In the film, he portrayed a child with a disability, a role that deeply touched the hearts of the audience.
But before Taare Zameen Par , Tanay appeared as a child actor in 2006's Don featuring Shah Rukh Khan, Priyanka Chopra and Arjun Rampal. But it was Aamir's movie, where he got the recognition. In 2008, Chheda was also a part of the Oscar-winning movie Slumdog Millionaire . He has even received the Guild Award for Outstanding Performance. Apart from this, Tanay has done many films in his childhood, but Tanay is now 28 years old.
Tanay was born on 27 June 1996 in Mumbai and studied at Dhirubhai Ambani International School. Now Tanay has grown up so much that it is difficult to recognise him and he is also married. He tied the knot with his girlfriend Yuvika in 2023 and their Instagram account is flooded with lovey-dovey pics.
Tanay is a full-fledged actor now, and last year, he was seen in a web series 'Cadets', available on Jio Hotstar. View this post on Instagram

Anshuman Jha Steps Behind The Camera For Lakadbaggha 2
Last Updated: Actor Anshuman Jha will direct Lakadbaggha 2 – The Monkey Business, stepping in after a creative shift in leadership. The vigilante sequel takes the franchise global. Actor-filmmaker Anshuman Jha is set to make his directorial debut with Lakadbaggha 2 – The Monkey Business, the much-anticipated sequel to his 2023 cult action film Lakadbaggha. Known for its gritty narrative and its unique vigilante hero who fights for animal rights, the franchise is now poised to expand its universe — this time under Jha's full creative leadership. While early reports had suggested that the sequel would be helmed by adman and filmmaker Sanjay Shetty, the production took a notable turn after just three days of principal photography. In a move that echoes Aamir Khan's directorial takeover of Taare Zameen Par, Jha stepped in to direct the film himself. However, unlike the high-profile friction between Khan and Amole Gupte at the time, this transition has been described by insiders as collaborative and grounded in mutual respect. A source from the production shared, 'Anshuman told the team, 'We will only make this film once — let's make it the best it can be, regardless of who directs.' It was never about ego, but about clarity and vision on the animal lover vigilante universe." Second Assistant Director Aura Chandel offered further insight into the creative shift, stating that Jha had been hands-on from the beginning — from casting international martial arts icons like Sunny Pang and Dan Chupong to shaping the film's VFX, score, and emotional tone. 'Sanjay Sir and Anshuman share a mentor-mentee bond," she said. 'He assisted Sanjay on ad shoots when he was just 16. There's no bad blood — only a shared love for the project." The initial portions filmed under Shetty have reportedly been reshot, and the production now carries a renewed sense of focus and energy. The decision for Jha to take over the director's chair is said to have stemmed from a need for creative alignment, with those close to the project asserting that Jha is most attuned to the emotional core and thematic ethos of the franchise — which blends high-octane action with a compassionate message around animal welfare. Shetty, meanwhile, continues to support the film as a creative consultant. With this bold move, Anshuman Jha joins the ranks of actor-directors such as Clint Eastwood, Bradley Cooper, and most recently, Dev Patel, who brought his singular vision to Monkey Man. For Jha, the transition isn't just about control behind the camera — it's about creating something meaningful and lasting. As one crew member succinctly put it: 'He's not just making a film — he's building a legacy for the voiceless." First Published: June 27, 2025, 21:09 IST
