MUMBAI: Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions has decided to produce a film for director Sonam Nair’s yet untitled film. Since Nair was Ayan Mukherjee’s assistant for Wake Up Sid, the latter brought the script to Johar for approval.
“I liked it a lot. It’s about a 14-year-old girl studying in Shimla and her relationship with everyone around her. It’s about a girl finding her way through life,” Johar has reportedly said.
This is for the first time that Dharma Productions is backing a woman’s film. "It just happened that I got this wonderful script from Sonam. I think everyone will identify a bit with the characters in the film," averred Johar.
The film will be shot in Shimla during the summer holidays in June and the casting is complete. The cast of the film will also have newcomers from Delhi schools and colleges in the 14 to 18 year age group. The only established actress will play the role of the girl’s mother.
The crew will also be newcomers who will have their first brush with cinema. Music director Vishal Shekhar will be the senior most among the technicians.
