Upen Patel, the new sensation in the block, who entered your living room with the music video of the Bed Lounge mix of 'Kya Khoob Lagti Ho', has been signed on for as many as 7 films. And that too before he still has to make his debut on the big screen!
The promo of his debut '36 China Town' song 'Ashiqui' is already on air. The whole industry is buzzing about this new sensation with the killer looks, touted as the next John Abraham, making a transition from being a super model to films. Upen has been getting countless calls from the industry congratulating him for the lucky 7 he has signed on! While he has been confirmed for Vipul Shah's 'Namaste London' that also stars Akshay Kumar, Katrina Kaif, Rishi Kapoor and Javed Sheikh [from Pakistan], he has also been roped in for the next films by the likes of Subhash Ghai, Ashtavinayak films, Sunil Darshan, Abbas Mustan, Tips and Shyam Bajaj's next!
But Upen as humble as ever says, "I owe a lot to Subhashji and Abbas Mastan. My loyalties will always lie with Subhashji. They have been extremely supportive and guided me. No matter what I'll achieve I'll always be thankful to Subhashji. Ill always be a phone call away at any point of time in my career"
Well refreshingly, quite a change from all those protege's who change with times with their mentor. Upen brand loyalty is truly commendable, No wonder the big banners are knocking at his door!!!
