At the helm of the film as the filmmaker, Swarupraj Medara’s story will explore how a child’s persistence can break through any social or economic barrier, echoing a heartwarming message in this family-friendly tale.
Suniel Shetty was last seen in Welcome to the Jungle and is all set to feature in a completely different avatar for Nanhey Dil. In this film, he will play the role of a principal at a prestigious school, where a bright young boy named Raghu, son of a dhobi, catches his eye after recognising his academic potential.
He decides to make the ultimate bet on him, providing him the opportunity to work and study alongside other children hailing from privileged families. The movie serves as a crucial reminder of how every child deserves a chance to highlight their abilities and pursue their aspirations regardless of their backgrounds or economic conditions.
Talking about what drew him to the vision of the script, Suniel Shetty said, “Nanhey Dil is a film about children, about giving equal opportunities to everybody and how important it is for us to make sure everybody is comfortable. It has a beautiful message and could definitely be an eye-opener for modern-day parents. I think this generation believes in equality, and that you have to live your dream and not live the dream of your parents.”
He continued, “I’d want my children to live their dream, not mine. I think today’s parents are all about honesty, and taking care of their parents and children. So hats off to this generation. I took this film on because it was a simple story to tell and I am glad that such stories are being heard and are finding global platforms.”
The film was shot in 37 days and also has a separate title for the international audience, called Fly High Little Hearts.
