At the age of 12 Master Kishen became the world’s youngest director from ‘Care of Footpath’. Now at the youngest age of 15 he is now in the lead role of the film tentatively titled as ‘15’. The age of Master Kishen and title of the film also synchronize. The 10th standard student from Camlin English School in Vijayanagar, Bangalore, Master Kishen is the protagonist who holds mirror to the pains and pleasures of 15 years age group. He has a heroine but no romancing and touching on screen.

Another highlight of Master Kishen film is that his father Shrikanth former official of the income tax department is heading the megaphone. Siddarth the newcomer is scoring the music for this film from July 6th. Shrikanth is forming a private limited Company to produce this film.

The shooting has been planed in India and United States of America says Shrikanth who is finalizing the prominent cast for his film. Shrikanth has chosen three teenage girls to suit the height of Master Kishen. One of the three will be finalized.
