The film will focus on the extra-ordinary lengths Abhinav’s father went to secure his son’s future.“After Abhinav returned from the Sydney Olympics, his father invested in a farmhouse where Abhinav could stay and shoot. He always arranged the best for his son. For over 20 years, he has helped his son pursue his dream. Anil loved the script and has given the nod,” the source added.
Meanwhile, Harshvardhan is busy with the shoot of Vikaramaditya Motwane’s Bhavesh Joshi where he will be seen along with Priyanshu Painyuli and Radhika Apte.
The 26-year-old actor marked his acting debut with the 2016 movie, Mirziya opposite Saiyami Kher.
