According to reports the movie is a Hindi remake of Mahesh Manjrekar’s hit Marathi film Shikshanachya Aaicha Gho. Steeped in middle-class values, the film tells the story of a kid who hates to study but likes to play cricket. The father doesn’t approve of his son’s passion for the bat and wants him to do well in studies which can assure him a ‘secure future’. The rebellious son, however, doesn’t listen to his dad which leads his dad to take a strict action.
Salman, instantly liked the story and gave a go ahead.. A source tells a tabloid, “Sallu too used to abhor formal teaching in his youth and that’s why he can very well relate to the subject.”
Manjrekar too confirms the news and is quoted as saying, “Yes, Salman saw the Marathi film and loved it. He has never attempted something this middle-class before.”
