And now, he is all set to strike a
superhero chord with the audiences!
His next project,
Zokkomon, is a script jointly written by
ex-Mumbai HC advocate Bhattal, his wife Svati and Lancy Fernandes.
Bhattal was earlier in the production team of Academy nominated
Lagaan, where he went on to publish
The Spirit of Lagaan.
The movie which revolves around the life of a young boy faced with
a multitude of problems shows how he goes on to conquer his issues with
sheer determination to do so. The superhero trait related with
Darsheel's character, claims Bhattal, has nothing to do with
extraordinary powers, but with an extraordinary will of an extremely
ordinary boy in the face of diversities. It therefore, aims at
promoting with an 'x' level of deviation from realism, a message of
positivity and perseverance.
'
Mann mein hai vishwas to har darr hai bakwas' ... words
that will be repeated by this child protagonist all through the movie
can then be expected to become words of a legend in a common household
with children, once the movie hits the halls in May this year.
The film also stars
Anupam Kher, and
Manjari Fadnis of
Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na fame, and is a Walt Disney Motion Pictures India production.
