Emraan Hashmi, who is known as a serial kisser in Bollywood is surely changing the image with this film. The actor will be seen essaying a role based on the life of India’s top detective Suryakant Bhande Patil. Mr. Patil has solved 120 child kidnapping cases for free.
The film titled Father’s Day is an emotional father-son story based on a Gujarati book Drishyam Adrishyam, by Praful Shah. It will be directed by debutante director Shantanu Baaghchi and will have screenplay and dialogues written by Ritesh Shah. The film will be jointly produced by Emraan Hashmi Films and Mataram Films.
Talking to us about the film, Emraan says,
‘Suryakantji’s story is very heartbreaking but greatly inspiring. It’s rare to find a person who has dedicated his whole life to helping find kidnapped children of others that too for free. I am extremely proud to be playing him in the film.’
Director Shantanu says,
‘There are few films which entertain, fewer which deeply move you and even fewer still that change the way you look at life. This film does all three. The wonderful thing is that this inspiring story is based on the life of a real person.’
Writer Ritesh Shah says,
‘I get so many stories about great wins and great people but this one instantly attracted the writer and father in me because it’s about an ordinary citizen’s great loss which eventually turned into a win for society and made him extraordinary.’
Producer Priya Gupta from Mataram Films said,
‘Emraan is a fantastic actor. This film will for the first time see him in an extremely emotional role. It deals with an important subject of child safety and will be a thrilling and deeply emotional film. Suryakantji’s story is extremely inspiring and moving and we are proud to be presenting it.’
Producer Kalpana Udyawar from Mataram Films said,
‘This story needs to be told. We are proud of this being our first film.’
Father’s Day, produced by Emraan Hashmi, Priya Gupta and Kalpana Udyawar will be shot in 2019 across Maharashtra.
