Says a source, “Ashutosh has bought the film rights for 'Dear Father', a highly acclaimed Gujarati play. Interestingly, the play, written by Dr Vivek Bele, has been translated from the Marathi original, 'Katkon Trikon', by Uttam Gada. Both versions of the play — in Marathi and Gujarati — have been well appreciated and this is why Ashutosh wants to make a film on it.”


The source adds that the film will be produced and directed by Ashutosh Gowariker. “Like the Gujarati play, this film will also star Paresh Rawal,” says the source. Ashutosh Gowariker remained unavailable for comment.
