It's one of the most popular books for kids these days that's now a big time movie. "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" opens this weekend all across the country. One of the stars of the movie is an 11 year old Bothell boy.
Not bad for a kid who picked up acting just a few years ago. Now, Karan Brar is hitting the big time as Chirag Gupta.
"He's a small kid that knows more about the school and all its hauntings and mysteries about it," said Brar.
20th Century Fox was looking for a young Indian kid for its movie Karan was perfect for the role.
The "Diary of the Wimpy Kid" book series is written and illustrated with cartoon characters from the perspective of middle schooler Greg Heffley.
Karan plays one of Greg's buddies who also deal with peer pressure and a stinky piece of cheese that's cursed.
This is Karan's first big break in show business, his father Harry is quite proud.
"I think it's just his hard work, God's wish, he's got the talent," said Brar.
And, while his part in "Wimpy Kid" has suddenly made him pretty popular at school he's not letting it go to his head.
"I know it's a big deal for me, but still I don't want it to change my relationships with my friends anything like that," said Brar.
Karan hopes to play Chirag again in future movies from "The Diary of a Wimpy Kid Series." But, he could be back on the big screen soon. He recently auditioned for two other movies.
