Inspiration comes in different forms and from various people…. And here we meant this for Madhur Bhandarkar.

Down his career graph, the ace filmmaker has brought out movies based on realities – films which are inspired from real life and incidents. After give serious films (Page 3, Corporate, Chandni Bar and Fashion among others), Bhandarkar diverted his path towards light-hearted genre – result is his forthcoming rom-com ‘Dil Toh Baccha Hai Ji’ (DTBHJ).

And what made him to take on this new flavour? When asked him, the helmer revealed that it was because of Tabu.

The first look unveil of DTBHJ took place amidst high fanfare at Cinemax, in Mumbai, on 27th Nov. Besides Madhur, the event was attended by co-producer Kumar Mangat Pathak, Ajay Devgn, Emraan Hashmi, Omi Vaidya, Shazahn Padamsee, Shraddha Das and other technicians.

There Madhur interacted with the media and shared further that during the making of ‘Chandni Bar’, its lead actress Tabu suggested him to make a comedy. However, it took him nearly ten years to materialise it. Now he hopes that the film gets as much success as his earlier projects.

However, the director added that DTBHJ is in no way inspired from anything and is purely fictional. "My cinema has always been hard-hitting and real. This is a comedy but everyone will be able to relate to the subject. For the first time, my film is not inspired by any newspaper clippings or real life incidences. This story is fictional but can be anyone's story. It has a good blend of humour and realism," stated Bhandarkar.

Also starring Shruti Haasan, DTBHJ is scheduled to hit the screens on 28th January, 2011.

For the records, the title ‘Dil Toh Baccha Hai Ji’ was initially with veteran Shatrughan Sinha. Later when Bhandarkar requested him, Sinha readily gave the title to the filmmaker.
