A
few
days
ago,
the
makers
of
Helicopter
Eela
had
dropped
the
first
official
look
of
the
film
minus
the
leading
lady
Kajol.
Since
then
everybody
had
been
eagerly
waiting
to
catch
a
glimpse
of
her.
Well
folks,
your
wait
finally
comes
to
an
end
as
the
makers
have
dropped
a
brand
new
poster.
Kajol
took
to
her
Twitter
handle
to
share
this
new
glimpse
and
captioned
it
as,
" Holding
on
to
my
baby
be
like....😅
#MotherlyLove
#HelicopterEela.
Check
out
the
poster
here-
According
to
the
makers,
Eela
is
"a
story
of
a
single
mother
and
an
aspiring
singer
(Kajol)
who
gives
up
all
her
dreams
to
raise
her
only
child
(Riddhi
Sen).
Her
son
who
is
a
typical
young
millennial
doesn't
want
his
mother's
life
to
revolve
around
him.
Being
an
over
protective
mother,
she
decides
to
join
her
son's
college,
which
eventually
leads
to
her
invading
the
son's
privacy."
Speaking
about
her
role
in
'Helicopter
Eela',
Kajol
said
in
a
statement,
"As
a
mother,
I
felt
a
real
connection
with
Eela's
character.
She
loves
her
son
unconditionally
and
has
built
her
life
around
him.
But
as
he
grows
up,
she
finds
herself
becoming
more
and
more
dispensable.
She
has
also
put
her
life
and
dreams
on
hold,
like
so
many
mother's
do.
This
is
a
life
situation
that
so
many
women
face
once
their
kids
grow
up.
And,
one
that
I
will
inevitably
face
is,
what
do
I
do
now?
How
do
I
hold
on
to
my
baby?
In
a
way,
Helicopter
Eela
is
a
coming
of
age
film,
more
for
Eela
rather
than
it
is
for
her
son!"
Ajay
Devgn,
who
is
producing
this
slice-of-life
film,
further
added,
"I
was
drawn
to
the
story
of
this
loving
but
difficult
relationship
between
a
mother
and
son.
The
script
told
a
beautiful
story,
of
a
journey
that
all
parents
face,
but
it
is
especially
true
and
unique
to
mothers
and
their
sons.
The
characters
played
by
Kajol
and
Riddhi
Sen
are
extremely
strong
and
they
will
have
an
astonishing
connect
with
the
audience
across
the
globe."
Helicopter
Eela
is
based
on
Gujarati
play
Beta,
Kaagdo
and
has
been
written
by
Mitesh
Shah
and
Anand
Gandhi
(director
of
Ship
of
Theseus).
Kajol
had
earlier
said,
"I
liked
the
script
honestly,
liked
the
lines,
everything.
I
like
my
character
of
Ela
(a
single
mother),
I
identify
with
many
of
her
things."
Directed
by
Pradeep
Sarkar,
Helicopter
Eela
also
stars
National
Award
winning
actor
Riddhi
Sen
and
is
slated
to
release
on
14th
September,
2018.
