While
Vishal
Bhardwaj
gets
ready
to
release
a
kids-centric
film
The
Blue
Umbrella,
there
are
other
directors
who
have
the
same
idea
of
tapping
into
impressionable
minds
to
generate
innocence
purity
and
authenticity.
Director
Samir
Karnik
completed
one
film
Nanhe
(earlier
entitled
Nanhe
Jaisalmer)
about
a
child
actor
Dwij
Yadav's
bonding
with
Bobby
Deol.
Karnik
is
now
in
the
middle
of
another
film
Roshan
spotlighting
the
same
Dwij-Bobby
pair's
bonding.
Now
it's
Anupam
Kher's
turn.
He's
all
set
to
star
in
Hawai
Dada,
a
fantasy
drama
about
the
relationship
between
a
grandfather
and
grand-daughter
that
Anupam
and
Satish
Kaushik's
production
house
Karol
Bagh
Films
will
produce
in
collaboration
with
UTV.
Says
Anupam,
"When
this
young
writer-director
Ajay
Kartik
came
to
me
with
the
script
of
Hawai
Dada
I
was
immediately
swayed.
It's
the
story
of
an
old
man
who
has
never
flown.
It's
all
about
his
grand-daughter
fulfilling
his
wish
for
an
air
journey.
Such
scripts
used
to
be
rare
until
recently.
Now
suddenly
we
are
inundated
with
very
talented
young
writers
bubbling
over
with
ideas.
Now
Satish
and
I
have
tied
up
for
the
first
time
we
need
as
much
creative
resources
as
possible."
