Suniel Shetty plays a school principal in Nanhey Dil
Shetty plays the principal of a prestigious school who recognises the potential of Raghu, a bright young boy whose father works as a dhobi. Believing that talent should not be judged by a child's background, the principal gives Raghu the opportunity to study alongside children from privileged families. The story centres on the idea that every child deserves the chance to discover their abilities and pursue their aspirations.
Speaking about his decision to be part of the project, Suniel Shetty said, "Nanhey Dil is a film about children, about giving equal opportunities to everybody and how important it is for us to make sure everybody is comfortable. It has a beautiful message and could definitely be an eye-opener for modern-day parents. I think this generation believes in equality, and that you have to live your dream and not live the dream of your parents. I'd want my children to live their dream, not mine.
I think today's parents are all about honesty, and taking care of their parents and children. So hats off to this generation. I took this film on because it was a simple story to tell and I am glad that such stories are being heard and are finding global platforms."
