The apparent inspiration for the film is an 11 year old boy who is in a remand home. Advani’s wife works for the remand home and it was she who had told him his story. Nikhil immediately decided to make a film on this.
According to Nikhil the film will not have any songs but will have music and the 11 year old to play the main protagonist has also been finalized. No, it isn’t the same boy whose story the film is based on but another boy from the same remand home. Nikhil had seen him performing for a play in the home.
