Before
we
knew
it
Nikhil
Advani
has
gone
and
completed
an
animation
film
about
five
animals
from
the
jungle
seeking
an
audience
with
politicians
in
Delhi.
The
film's
title
is
Ab
Dilli
Door
Nahin.
Just
one
hitch.
The
title
belongs
to
R.K.
Films.
In
1957,
the
illustrious
Raj
Kapoor
produced
an
experimental
film
called
Ab
Dilli
Door
Nahin
about
a
young
boy
from
a
far-off
village
journeying
to
Delhi
to
meet
the
Prime
Minister
Jawaharlal
Nehru.
The
film
came
and
bombed.
But
Nikhil
feels
it's
the
correct
title
for
his
film.
"My
animation
film
is
about
a
five
animals
heading
for
Delhi
to
meet
the
politicians
there.
I
can't
think
of
a
better
title
than
Ab
Dilli
Door
Nahin.
But
the
title
is
with
R.K.
Films.
I've
requested
them
to
part
with
it.
They
haven't
gotten
back
to
me.
But
I'm
sure
they
will.
I
hope
I'll
be
able
to
use
the
title.
Because
I've
no
second
option."
Nikhil
hopes
to
dedicate
Ab
Dilli
Door
Nahin
to
his
adopted
baby
girl.
"I
hope
she'll
be
old
enough
to
enjoy
the
film
when
it's
released." The
director
is
trying
to
spend
as
much
time
as
possible
with
his
baby
girl
before
he
leaves
for
China
early
next
week
for
four
months
at
a
stretch.
"But
I've
made
sure
they
join
me
there."
