The national award winner adman-turned-film maker with a midas touch, told PTI, "Like the Rags to Riches story of Amol, etched out so faithfully by Dev, I have been stunned to know the life history of some children of Anubhab Foundation and how they overcame the oddities. Especially the story of one gritty girl Khatoon who excelled in academics despite suffering so much burns at home before exams and still writing her papers after recovery."
"Also the principal actor himself underwent a life of struggle before attaining superstardom, as his reel life chronicled a journey from a modest Midnapore hamlet to the upscale neighbourhood in south Kolkata, Mumbai and Delhi, that is also fantasy to inspire such kids."
"It seems being from not so privileged surroundings they were more eager to learn everything that came their way," she said.
"From seven children to 100, all facing difficult and many a time hostile surroundings, Anubhab Foundation has come a long way and we believe in imparting basic values and lessons to these children and tap their aesthetic sensibilities. It is the first time our children are introduced to a big banner film having big names of Tollywood," a spokesperson of the Trust, which runs a school for economically backward students of the slum areas of Khidderpore, said.
