Anwar Kharral
(Dev Patel)It's safe to say Anwar is not practicing his Muslim religion to the letter. When he is not drinking or taking drugs, he is either thinking about sex or trying to have it - by all means necessary. He is conflicted by his best mate Maxxie's sexual preference but their friendship should prevail.
Originally hailing from Harrow in the Greater London area, Dev got the acting bug after receiving accolades for starring in a school production of Twelfth Night. He later made his professional debut in Skins.
Before appearing in Skins, Dev studied and received a black belt in Taekwon-do. He competed in tournaments and received a bonze medal at the 2004 Action International Martial Arts Association World Championships.
These days...
With the exposure of Skins, Dev auditioned for and won the role of "Jamal" in the critically acclaimed film Slumdog Millionaire. The film was garnered with countless awards including 8 Academy Awards (out of 10 nominations), 7 BAFTA Film Awards (out of 11 nominations) and 4 Golden Globes. For his part in the film, Dev also received rave reviews and many awards some of which were a British Independent Film Award (Most Promising Newcomer), Critics Choice Award (Best Young Actor), London Critics Circle Film Awards (British Actor of the Year) as well as BAFTA Film Award and Screen Actors Guild Award nominations for 'Best Leading Actor' and 'Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Supporting Role' respectively.
Up next for Dev is the M. Night Shyamalan helmed The Last Airbender. A live action film based on a popular cartoon.
