Mehroos Ahmed 11-year-old Kashmiri kid who is one of the students from the movie Notebook has fascinated Zaheer a lot. The actor said, "Mehroos is one of the smartest people I have met, he even helped the film's team manage the other kids on the sets. Once, he picked up spare juice boxes and hid them under a table to ensure that the crew didn't waste it."
While working with the young actor Zaheer found out Mehroos fascination towards Mumbai. He said that he has spoken to Mehroos father Manzoor Ahmed who got overwhelmed and allowed him to give training and guide him throughout. The little star will stay with Zaheer for 2-3 months and will train him in acting.

The movie Notebook is slated to hit theatres on March 29, the movie is based in Kashmir where the iconic song Bumbro Bumbro is perfectly used in the trailer.
