Are Indian kids leaving their parents? New film focuses on this. Gadar film director Anil Sharma explains

In a conversation with The New Indian Executive Editor Rohan Dua, Sharma discussed how the film addresses the growing disconnect between children and their parents in modern India.

These stories deeply moved me.” He explained that Vanvaas is his way of reminding people to cherish their parents. “In today’s world, the dust of time settles on relationships. This film is meant to blow that dust away and remind people to value their parents, no matter how busy they are.”

When asked why he shifted from action films to a family-oriented drama, Sharma responded, “After the success of Gadar 2, everyone expected me to make another action film, but Vanvaas was necessary. A director’s job is to make films that speak to people’s hearts. This film brings families closer and reminds children not to abandon their parents.”
