Model-turned actor Prateek Jain is set to make his Bollywood debut in 2020. Hailing from Bengaluru, Preteen was named Mister World India in 2014 and won the Asian Supermodel title in 2015. He did a cameo in Dear Zindagi and debuted in Telugu cinema earlier this month in Venky Mama, playing a negative character opposite Daggubati Venkatesh and Naga Chaitanya. 

Speaking about his Bollywood debut, Prateek shared, “I was offered a number of projects but I was selective. I am finally making my Hindi debut in a feature film. It will go on floors in a couple of months and release this year. I will be doing action and romance and donning multiple looks in the film.”

Prateek says his background in martial arts and fitness helped him land the part. “Despite a fight injury a few years back, I continued to follow my passion. I have always believed in working hard and training for what’s ahead. I am hoping to do great work in the Hindi film industry.”
