Prateik the blue eyed boy of Aamir Khan is gradually making his mark as the actor with the remarkable sense of sensibility. In his upcoming movie 'My Friend Pinto' Prateik plays a musician and the helmer Raaghav recollects the genius of the legendary Raj Kapoor in Prateik's character.

According to the director Prateik who plays the "kind-hearted and caring" Goan in the film is a contemporary follow-up to the great Raj Kapoor’s characters in 'Jaagte Raho' (1956) and 'Awaara' (1951).

Says the director, "In the film too, Prateik has acted the way Raj Kapoor's characters might have done in a modern setting. Plus, I find his acting skills - like the way he uses his eyes - to be very similar to that of Raj Kapoor's."

Wow!! Prateik must be feeling terrific to find himself as the modern avatar of Raj Kapoor who was highly inspired by the one and only Charles Chaplin.
