Mumbai, Sept 30 (IBNS): Actress Tamannaah Bhatia of Baahubali fame will team up with 8-year-old Sunny Pawar of Oscar nominated film Lion for a film inspired by the Beti Padhao Beti Bachao campaign titled A B C , an initiative by Anti-Corruption And Crime Control Committee India in association with Gravity Group.


The script of the film will revolve around the importance of awareness and implementation of education for the girl child.

While Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis' wife Amruta Fadnavis will be contributing to the musical score, the voice of Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be used in the form of a guiding force to the on-screen characters in the film. Ramkumar Shendge will be directing the film.

Other leading celebrities who will be supporting the campaign through special appearances include Chiranjeevi, Suniel Shetty,  Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, Kiran Bedi, Amitabh Bachchan amongst others.

The 2 hour movie will be premiered at the German and French Film Festival in January 2018 while the teaser was originally to be launched on Sept 30 on Dussehra but due to unfortunate Elphinstone stampede,  it has been postponed to Oct 2 on Gandhi Jayanti.

This film will be made a compulsory watch in all schools across the nation and will be dubbed in 14 different languages. The President Of United States, Donald Trump has also given a principal consent of endorsing the film on a global level.

Tamannaah Bhatia who has actively contributed to state campaigns such as Swachh Bharat Abhiyan and Beti Padhao Beti Bachao in the recent past, said, “I have always been driven to contribute to welfare noble causes since I was a child. I am of the opinion that the power vested in being a media figure should never be abused and should instead be used to inspire others. The girl child is a cause that is very close to my heart and I am proud to be associated with it.”

The brainchild behind this project, Meehir Kulkarni, Chairman, Anti Corruption And Crime Control Committee, Maharashtra said, “This our way of paying a small tribute to our mentor – Shri Narendra Modiji by celebrating his commitment and dedication towards making India an advanced and a prosperous nation.  We wish to propel and propagate the ideology behind the Beti Padhao Beti Bachao campaign on a larger global platform and hence this initiative.”

Tamannaah who started off at the age of 15 in the film industry, has over 50 films in three different languages to her credit.

She has worked with a list of notable actors including Ranveer Singh, Akshay Kumar, Saif Ali Khan, Riteish Deshmukh, Ajay Devgan, Mahesh Babu, Prabhas, Rana Daggubati, Dhanush, Allu Arjun, Ram Charan, amongst others. In the past she has acted in the South remakes of Bollywood films like Jab We Met, Kick and Rowdy Rathore.

Currently the actress is gearing up to essay the lead protagonist in the Telugu remake of Queen  produced by Manu Kumaran under the banner of Mediente Films and directed by national award winning director, G. Neelakanta Reddy.
