New Delhi, “Delhi Crime” creator Richie Mehta will executive produce “Boy from Andaman”, an upcoming film by debutant filmmaker Parinaz Jal.
Mehta, best known for creating Netflix’s International Emmy-winning series “Delhi Crime” and Prime Video’s “Poacher,” has partnered with Imagine Entertainment and Harman Baweja’s Baweja Studio for the project, according to a press release.
Based on an original idea by Manu Chopra, the script is written by Jal and Chopra. It follows the story of Mohan, a postal worker in Mumbai who finds a letter addressed to “God” from a child who survived the deadly 2004 tsunami in the Andaman Islands.
“An unlikely friendship develops between the two through a series of letter exchanges before Mohan decides to travel to Andaman and save the child,” the official plot reads.
“Boy from Andaman” will be produced by Rick Ambros, Bhhaskar De and Sharmila Pinheiro and Harman Baweja. Janice Chua is spearheading the project on behalf of Imagine Entertainment.
Mehta said he is excited to bring a “powerful story” to life with the film.
“When Janice Chua approached me about this story, I was immediately captivated by its simplicity, power and beauty, and felt that as a collaboration between Imagine, Bhhaskar, Rick, Parinaz, Harman and I, we could create something magical. I couldn’t be more excited to embark on this adventure and bring this powerful story to life,” said the Indo-Canadian director.
Baweja said that “Boy from Andaman” has a story that is both touching and inspiring.
“Working alongside such a talented team, including Richie Mehta, Janice Chua, Rick Ambros and Bhhaskar De, is a privilege. Mohan’s story resonated with me and I knew it was something we had to bring to life. I can’t wait for audiences to experience this beautiful journey of faith and humanity,” he added.
