Wishing Sharman Joshi A Happy Birthday!

He wowed us as Raju Rastogi in the blockbuster hit of 2009, 3 Idiots. He played an edgy gangster in last year’s Allah Ke Banday. He even tickled our funny bone in Golmaal. He is definitely the character actor to watch out for. Sharman Joshi, the man in question, turns 31 years old today on March 17^th.

While Sharman’s birthday plans probably include spending quiet time with his wife and confidante, Prerna, and his kids, the thing that the actor is looking forward to the most is his next film, Ferrari Ki Sawaari. To be directed by Rajesh Mapuskar, ‘Ferrari Ki Sawari’ is expected to go the floor in March-April 2011 and will showcase Sharman in a new light.

Hailing from a family of theatre actors, Sharman started dabbling in theatre while in college. He made his movie debut with Godmother, where he played the character of Shabana Azmi’s son. His first box-office success was with N. Chandra’s Style in 2001.
