Shubham Jha On His Role In Prakash Jha’s Pareeksha: “My Real Life Is Somewhat Synonymous To My Character In The Film”

Child actor Shubham Jha, who plays the protagonist Bulbul in the Prakash Jha-directed upcoming film, Pareeksha, says that just like his on-screen character, his father, too, works hard to pay for his education.

“I hope people understand the message we want to put across, and relate to the story of Bulbul and Buchi (Bulbul’s father). My real life is somewhat synonymous to my character in the film. It is surreal to act like someone else, especially when we share the same story. My father works as hard as Buchi to pay for my education and there is not even a day he does not come home without a smile on his face. My biggest ‘pareeksha’ in life is to make my parents proud. I hope all the Bulbuls in the world get a piece of hope as a takeaway from this film,” said Shubham.

The story of the film revolves around a rickshaw puller, Buchi (played by Adil Hussain), who is trying hard to give the best education to his son Bulbul despite all financial and social obstacles in their life. The film also features Priyanka Bose and Sanjay Suri.
