Rahul Roy enjoys Moscow sans the football fans

Aashiqui (1990) fame actor Rahul Roy prefers to be different. When the world was heading to Russia to catch the FIFA World Cup soccer action, he too flew into Moscow. But he preferred to shun the matches and instead do the touristy things. He says he wanted to be away from the football madness. He had been shooting for an international film Night and Fog and a break in shoot enabled the trip. Rahul is still in holiday mood and is now enjoying Moscow sans the football fans.

Meanwhile, Ayush Shah will play on-screen son to Rahul Roy in the Tanvir Ahmed's autobiographical film. Excited about sharing screen with the "Aashiqui" fame actor, Aayush said in a statement: "Growing up as a kid, I have always loved Rahul's films and I have always dreamt of sharing screen space with him. I share a different bond with Rahul 'bhaiya'. He is family to me and has always given me great learning and guidance. In real life, he is an elder brother to me and in reel life, he will be my father. I am looking forward to it as I feel lucky to be a part of this film."

Aayush made his debut on big screen with "Pankh" in 2010. He is also known for his roles in television shows like "Mahabharat", "Navya" and "Uttaran". Rahul said of Aayush, "He is a disciplined actor with tremendous potential. I've been wanting to do a film with him for so long and finally, he is doing it. 'Night and Fog' is more than a film... It's going to be a crazy canvas."
