Aaryan was initiated into the world of music by his mother Rajalakshmy, who is a noted playback singer. Rajalakshmy composed music for the video, which was directed by her husband Abhiram Krishnan. Aaryan said his maiden acting experience was an exciting one. “It was fun with some new friends who were my fellow actors,” he said. Aaryan was an active presence at the film festival.“This is a golden opportunity for children like me who rarely get a chance to visit the theatre. I made several new friends here,” he said.
