Naman Ramachandran Indian auteur Anurag Kashyap is returning to the children’s film genre with his latest production, “Little Thomas.” The comedy-drama, which is the feature directing debut of Kaushal Oza, is slated for its world premiere at the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne (IFFM).
Starring Gulshan Devaiah and Rasika Duggal, alongside child actor Hridansh Parekh, “Little Thomas” marks Kashyap’s first foray into children’s cinema since his 2007 animated directorial venture “Return of Hanuman.” Set in 1990s Goa, the film follows a seven-year-old boy’s attempts to reunite his quarreling parents in hopes of getting a baby brother.
Kashyap, known for hard-hitting films like “Gangs of Wasseypur” and “Ugly,” was drawn to Oza’s vision of creating a genuine children’s film from a kid’s perspective. “It’s a difficult genre actually, to make an authentic children’s film,” Kashyap said. “So one has to ensure that it’s a good script before making it.” Devaiah, who previously worked with Kashyap on “That Girl in Yellow Boots” and “Shaitan,” described “Little Thomas” as a “sweet, cute film.” Duggal praised the script for its “interesting sense of humor” and commitment to narrative without unnecessary frills.
Oza, an alumnus of the Film and Television Institute of India (FTII), revealed that over 700 children were auditioned to cast Thomas and his friends.
