Arvind Swamy, who made a terrific entry into the Hindi film industry with Mani Ratnam’s Roja, is all set to return to Bollywood with debutante director Tanuj Bhramar’s interesting project, titled Dear Dad. The actor chose to return with this film as he found the subject intriguing.
Dear Dad is a bittersweet coming of age story involving a father-son duo — 14-year-old Shivam, and his 45-year-old dad Nitin Swaminathan (Arvind Swamy). They embark on an impromptu road trip from their home in Delhi, to Mussorie (Uttarakhand), where Shivam attends boarding school. Unexpected confessions, weird strangers, accidental meetings, a drunken escapade and singing in the rain — all these add up to a complicated and sweet tale.
Arvind, who is also a well-known businessman, states that films like these don’t get made very often and such stories need to be told. Some of the actor’s hit films over the years, include Minsara Kanavu, Marupadiyum, Raja Ko Rani Se Pyar Ho Gaya and many more. The first look poster was out yesterday and the teaser is expected to be out in the first week of April.
