Multilingual director Priyadarshan says his Hindi adaptation of acclaimed Iranian film 'Children Of Heaven', which has Darsheel Safary in the lead role, has been set in the backdrop of militancy in Assam."I am not blindly adapting the Iranian film 'Children Of Heaven'. I am moving completely away from the original material to set the story in Assam with the insurgency as the backdrop.I saw the Iranian film and its Singaporean version 'Home Run'. I'm not following Majidi's screenplay from the Iranian film at all. I'm only retaining the core of the original. I'm Indianising the screenplay completely, changing and adding more characters," says Priyadarshan.
Giving Darsheel company in the film would be a new child-actress named Zia. She will play his sister. Priyadarshan chose Zia from the many hopefuls who auditioned for the role. Atul Kulkarni and Rituparna Sengupta play the two kids' parents. Originally the director wanted Rahul Bose for the father's part, but the dates didn't work out. So Priyadarshan had to be satisfied with Atul Kulkarni .
