How does it feel to star in the adaptation of your favourite book? Ask Aryan Simhadri, the Grover to Percy Jackson in the new series
-
All Percy Jackson & The Olympians novel fans will agree – the series with the same name that recently released on OTT had quite the pressure to deliver, given that the movie adaptations didn’t quite hit the spot. The show has been lauded, and a boy in particular, who grew up reading the novels, saw a dream come true as he went on to play a character he loved. 17-year-old Aryan Simhadri, who essays the role of Percy Jackson’s friend Grover Underwood, has been an actor since he was four. However, this is his breakthrough in more ways than one. Simhadri joins us for a conversation from LA, and lets us in on his journey.
GRAZIA: You’ve been acting since you were four. What was your childhood like?
