Bhavna Talwar’s upcoming movie ‘Happi’, would revive the memories of legendary comedian Charlie Chaplin. For, the movie’s protagonist Pankaj Kapoor is playing a common man which sources say is on the lines of Chaplin’s character.

Now, as a mark of tribute, the producers have a special festival of Chaplin's films, starting from Jan 22nd. Interestingly, the team said to have invited Chaplin's daughter Geraldine and his granddaughter Dolores Chaplin.

And Pankaj’s star son Shahid Kapoor is quite gung-ho about the whole thing. He is said to be very excited to meet Dolores, who in fact is an actress and acted in several international projects.

Quoted sources, “Shahid is taking keen interest in the festival, not only because his dad plays a Chaplinesque hero but also because Chaplin's grand-daughter Dolores would be flying down for the event. Shahid is quite kicked by the young actress' lineage and luscious looks.”

The festival, which is organized by Happi’s producer Sheetal Talwar, will screen Chaplin’s notable films like ‘The Great Dictator’, ‘City Lights’, ‘The Kid’ and ‘Modern Times’.
