Sunil
Shetty's
Little
Godfather
directed
by
Joy
Augustine,
which
is
based
around
the
Indian
Railways
seems
to
have
run
into
some
heavy
weather
(and
it's
not
because
of
the
infamous
Mumbai
monsoons).
The
actor
has
been
making
rounds
of
babus
offices
to
secure
all
the
necessary
paperwork
for
the
smooth
sailing
of
the
film,
as
it
is
a
sensitive
subject.
Sunil
was
in
Delhi
recently
to
canvas
support
from
the
railway
personnel
for
the
film.
He
admits,
"Yes
I
have
been
talking
to
a
few
people
there
and
I
will
soon
make
a
presentation
to
Lalooji
(Railway
Minister
Laloo
Prasad
Yadav)
as
I
am
close
to
him.
I
am
not
looking
for
anything
else
but
support
as
far
as
the
shooting
goes.
I
also
want
an
approval
for
the
script.
They
should
be
happy
and
proud
of
what
we
are
doing."
Difficult
film
Says
Sunil,
"Logistically
speaking
it's
a
difficult
film
to
make
-
for
the
huge
amount
of
people
involved.
Also
we
will
be
shooting
in
crowded
trains,
on
railway
tracks
and
yards,
so
we
need
all
the
permissions.
Little
Godfather
deals
with
the
children
who
live
their
lives
on
the
trains
and
how
they
helped
people
during
the
bomb
blasts.
Mumbai
is
like
a
city
on
wheels
-
there
is
so
much
of
activity
going
on
in
the
trains!
The
film
is
a
salute
to
the
railways
and
the
spirit
of
Mumbai.
Since
it's
a
film
based
around
the
railways
and
the
7/11
blasts
we
require
lots
of
detailing
and
railway
support.
I
am
going
all
out
for
the
film
as
it's
very
close
to
my
heart.
I
love
Joy's
passion
for
the
film."
Still
auditioning
Sunil
and
Joy
have
been
auditioning
many
children.
"We
are
still
auditioning
the
star
kids.
We
require
about
eight
of
them
from
the
age
group
of
7-17
years.
Joy
will
take
those
whom
he
believes
suit
the
roles.
They
are
all
very
good
but
Joy
will
take
the
final
decision.
We
don't
want
to
be
unjust
or
discourage
any
kid." Sunil
was
in
Delhi
recently
to
canvas
support
from
the
railway
personnel
for
the
film.
He
admits,
"Yes
I
have
been
