A year after his last feature film, the Shah Rukh Khan starrer Dunki, hit the big screen, Rajkumar Hirani is set to commence filming his next untitled venture in November. The slice-of-life offering that is expected to première on a leading OTT platform is special for Hirani, given that it will serve as the launchpad for his son, Vir.

A production insider reveals, “This film is along the lines of the heart-warming and socially aware stories that Hirani excels at narrating. It has Hirani’s signature touch, and will be a humorous offering that shares a message that people can relate to. Vir’s character will resonate with the youth, and Rajkumar felt that there couldn’t be a better canvas than this one for his son to make his debut with.”
