    Writer-director Amole Gupte had promised to make another ‘heartwarming’ film after his masterpiece Stanley Ka Dabba. The details of the movie, to be produced by Fox Star Studios, are finally out.

     

    Titled Hawaa Hawaai, the film is about ‘dreamers’, according to Gupte. The filmmaker has roped in Bombay Talkies actor Saqib Saleem in the lead. His son Partho Gupte, who won the National Film Award for his role as Stanley, will also be seen in the film.

     

    Hawaa Hawaai is the story of how a dream can be achieved. Gupte elaborates, “Dreamers possess the might to move mountains. This dream flight is the triumph of human spirit in the wake of adversity… rooted so deep in our ethos that the identification with the protagonists of the tale is instant. I have been so lucky to have netted two magical performers ably supported by an ensemble cast that is equally talented and exciting.”

     

    Hawaa Hawaai is set to release on 18 April 2014. And considering Gupte’s contribution to films such as Taare Zameen Par and Stanley Ka Dabba, this new offering from the director would be highly anticipated.

    Karan Johar enters kids genre, to make Gippy

    MUMBAI: Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions is getting into the kids film genre with Gippy.

    The film will be directed by Sonam Nair. Delhi-based Riya Vij has been signed to play the title role in the film. For the role, Nair auditioned several youngsters across several cities, a source in the production house revealed.

    “She personally went through profiles. But eventually finalised Riya from Delhi. Unlike many, Riya has no experience in front of the camera. She has never done television commercials either,” the source said.

    Interestingly, Sonam, who assisted Ayan Mukerji in Wake Up Sid, is the first female director to be launched by the production house.

    In recent times, apart from Taare Zameen Par, Stanley Ka Dabba and Chillar Party, a few others have made a mark in the genre.
