In
a
first,
Emraan
Hashmi
will
be
essaying
a
role
based
on
the
life
of
India's
top
detective
Suryakant
Bhande
Patil,
who
has
solved
120
child
kidnapping
cases
for
free.
The
film
titled
'Father's
Day'
is
an
emotional
father-son
story
based
on
a
Gujarati
book
'Drishyam
Adrishyam'
by
author
Praful
Shah.
The
film
will
be
helmed
by
debutante
director
Shantanu
Baaghchi
who
has
directed
over
300
advertising
films
and
will
have
its
screenplay
and
dialogues
written
by
Ritesh
Shah,
the
acclaimed
writer
of
films
like
Airlift,
Pink
and
Raid.
The
film
will
jointly
be
produced
by
Emraan
Hashmi
films
and
Mataram
Films.
Talking
to
us
about
the
film,
Emraan
says,
'Suryakantji's
story
is
very
heartbreaking
but
greatly
inspiring.
It's
rare
to
find
a
person
who
has
dedicated
his
whole
life
to
helping
find
kidnapped
children
of
others
that
too
for
free.
I
am
extremely
proud
to
be
playing
him
in
the
film.'
Director
Shantanu
says,
'There
are
few
films
which
entertain,
fewer
which
deeply
move
you
and
even
fewer
still
that
change
the
way
you
look
at
life.
This
film
does
all
three.
The
wonderful
thing
is
that
this
inspiring
story
is
based
on
the
life
of
a
real
person.'
Ritesh
Shah
says,
'I
get
so
many
stories
about
great
wins
and
great
people
but
this
one
instantly
attracted
the
writer
and
father
in
me
because
it's
about
an
ordinary
citizen's
great
loss
which
eventually
turned
into
a
win
for
society
and
made
him
extraordinary.'
Producer
Priya
Gupta
from
Mataram
Films
said,
'Emraan
is
a
fantastic
actor.
This
film
will
for
the
first
time
see
him
in
an
extremely
emotional
role.
It
deals
with
an
important
subject
of
child
safety
and
will
be
a
thrilling
and
deeply
emotional
film.
Suryakantji's
story
is
extremely
inspiring
and
moving
and
we
are
proud
to
be
presenting
it.'
Producer
Kalpana
Udyawar
from
Mataram
Films
said,
'This
story
needs
to
be
told.
We
are
proud
of
this
being
our
first
film.'
The
film
produced
by
Emraan
Hashmi,
Priya
Gupta
and

Udyawar
will
be
shot
in
