Suniel's comfort with children a boon for 'Koyelaanchal'

New Delhi, May 4 (IANS) Actor Suniel Shetty might be popular for bashing up the bad guys or doing stunts on the big screen, but the father of two is quite comfortable with children and this helped in filming his forthcoming movie "Koyelaanchal" smoothly.

Directed by Asshu Trikha, the film, releasing Friday, is a tale of the coal mafia and also stars Vinod Khanna.

On the sets of "Koyelaanchal", the team took more than five to six hours to make a nine-month toddler say the word "Mumma" for a scene. Baby Manjeet refused to say the word for a long time. After waiting for long, finally Suniel inquired why the shoot was getting delayed.

After being told about the problem, he picked up the child and asked him to say "Mumma" and the kid did the needful, said a statement.
