ASHWINY TIWARI'S NEXT A REMAKE OF FRENCH FILM, ALIA BHATT TO PLAY AN ASPIRING SINGER?
Reportedly, the storyline of this film also looks similar to Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 1996 musical drama Khamoshi
It is known to all that Filmmaker Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari and the star of the moment, Alia Bhatt are soon going to collaborate for a movie. The yet-untitled movie is said to be a slice-of-life drama that kicks off in the second half of 2019. However, there is no further detail available as yet except that it has been penned by Ashwiny's husband, Nitesh Tiwari and screenwriter Nikhil Mehrotra who co-wrote Aamir Khan's blockbuster Dangal.
Now, Peepingmoon has got some more information on this Alia Bhatt- Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari's interesting collaboration. We have learnt that Alia will be playing a girl who aspires to pursue her dream of singing. The film is said to be the official remake of 2014 French movie, La Famille Blier which is a story about love and compassion for one's family.
The hugely popular French drama which received both critical acclaim and commercial success at the same time, tells the story of a 16-years old girl who lives with her deaf-mute parents and brother and discovers that she has the gift of singing which she wants to pursue as it will secure her a good career and a college degree. However, her decision of going out for singing doesn't go well with her family which relies on her for contact with the outside world on a daily basis, especially in the running of the family farm. This puts her in a painful dilemma as she neither wants to let down her family nor wants to leave singing.
The storyline of this film suspiciously looks similar to Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 1996 musical drama Khamoshi which starred Salman Khan, Manisha Koirala and Nana Patekar in lead roles. However, the main difference between the two is said to be its genre. While Bhansali's film was a tear-jerker, this one is reportedly a light-hearted comedy-drama.
Anurag Kashyap, Vikas Bahl, Vikramaditya Motwane and Madhu Mantena's production house Phantom Films will produce this film along with Anil Ambani-led Reliance Entertainment. According to a source, the script for the Hindi remake of La Famille Blier has been changed and developed in a way that will resonate with Indian sensibilities and culture.
