Hichki Movie True Story

[Mirta Dozar]

InterestinglyTV movie Front of the Class, starring Jimmy Wolks, Treat Williams and Patricia Heaton was also about Tourette's Syndrome. Based on a true story, the film had Jimmy Wolks playing a gifted teacher who suffers from the syndrome.

Both the trailers are quite similar but while Mukerji's Hichki is about a Teacher and her students, Front of The Class focussed on the boy with the disorder and his journey into adulthood.

Plot details are being kept under wraps on the film, but we understand the project is based on the controversial 2011 true story of an Indian couple whose children were taken away from them by Norwegian welfare services.

Indian studio Zee Studios and local producer Emmay Entertainment are behind the Hindi-language film, which is currently in pre-production. Ashima Chibber has scripted and will direct. Nikkhil Advani, Madhu Bhojwani, and Monisha Advani are producing for Emmay.
