Salman Khan became ÂTigerÂ, now international fame child artist Ayush Khedekar has become ÂHeroÂ. Wondering whatÂs the connection, then itÂs their respective movieÂs titles which are kind of similar... Okay jokes apart!
After ÂTaare Zameen Par and ÂStanley Ka DabbaÂ, there is yet another childrenÂs film in the making. Ayush Khedekar, who made his international debut in the Oscar winning movie, ÂSlumdog Millionaire as Jamal will be seen again in a feature film later this year.
Khedekar plays the lead role in the childrenÂs film ÂEk Tha Hero produced by Soni Films & Entertainment, a film production division of SaiSoni Productions.
They have been producing theatre shows across the country for the past seven years. ÂEk Tha Hero will be the first Hindi motion picture to feature Ayush Khedekar after ÂSlumdog MillionaireÂ.
ÂEk Tha Hero is a story about an eleven year old village boy fondly addressed as ÂHeroÂ.
He is passionate about owning a ÂbicycleÂ. The story showcases the journey of this child to accomplish his dream and how he becomes a ÂTrue Hero winning several hearts.
The film holds high entertainment value and gives out the message of ÂNever Giving UpÂ.
It caters to an audience of every age and is going to be a must-watch for every family.
ChildrenÂs films are a niche genre. Executed right, this genre has a huge market in India that is waiting to be tapped, says Sachin Dhakan, Producer, ÂEk Tha HeroÂ.
