A heartwarming nostalgic journey into family bonds arrived on screens this Thursday as the makers officially launched the trailer for Little Thomas, starring Rasika Dugal and Gulshan Devaiah. Set against the sun-soaked backdrop of Goa during the 1990s, the upcoming film weaves a warm, comedic, and emotionally resonant narrative around the innocent dreams of childhood and the complexities of domestic life.
A Child's Wish Sparks Hilarious Family Chaos
The core of this family drama revolves around seven-year-old Thomas, portrayed by child artist Hridansh Parekh. The young boy holds a passionate wish to welcome a little brother into his life. Convinced that his parents must first rekindle their closeness to make this dream a reality, he embarks on an imaginative mission to bring his mother and father together. As Thomas orchestrates peculiar, clumsy, and humorous schemes to push his parents toward each other, their household transforms into a theater of delightful and comical complications.
Directed by Kaushal Oza and Backed by Anurag Kashyap
Little Thomas is directed by Kaushal Oza and produced by acclaimed filmmaker Anurag Kashyap. The promotional campaign has already gathered solid momentum with the debut song titled Do Guna Zindagi, which has been receiving warm appreciation from music lovers. Audiences will not have to wait very long to watch the full feature, as the movie is slated to hit theaters nationwide on October 23.
Gulshan Devaiah on Working With Child Actors
Speaking at the trailer unveiling event, lead actor Gulshan Devaiah shared candid reflections regarding the realities of acting alongside child performers. He remarked that working with young children does not always make for an enjoyable process on set. Devaiah highlighted that environments involving young kids are naturally prone to loud noise and chaos, noting that children frequently play in the dirt and often lack professional discipline, making filming a demanding task where adult actors must wait for a child's mood to align before rolling the camera.
Despite those industry challenges, Devaiah praised Hridansh Parekh for keeping the shoot smooth and enjoyable. He said, “हमें हृदांश पारेख के साथ ऐसी कोई परेशानी नहीं हुई, क्योंकि वह बहुत क्यूट है।” He also pointed out that Hridansh's charming appearance and distinctive curly hair instantly grab everyone's attention.
