Indians have a knack of doing something exceptional to be recognized by the entire world. And this time around a 10 year old boy has done the country proud by becoming the youngest ever film director in the world.
Kishan, all of 10 years of age, has been recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records as the youngest film director in the world for his Kannada film titled 'C/o Footpath' (Sadhanai in Tamil).
As per Kishan, he got inspired to direct a film about underprivileged children of the world when he saw street children selling newspapers at the signals. His question was, why are so many children on street when he is enjoying comforts at his home?
This made him write a story about this slum boy, who along with his friends, creates a revolution in the field of education with the help of some benefactors.
He has been assisted by journalists Udaya Marakkini and Jogi in the cripte department while Mysore Harish has penned the dialogues.
'C/o Footpath', which stars Jackie Shroff in the role of Chief Minister along with Kannada film stars Ambareesh and Sudeep has been dubbed in other Indian and foreign languages too.
Kishan is not a novice to the film world. Apart from winning two state awards for his Kannada film, he has earlier also acted in over 25 Kannada films like 'Swathi Muthtu', 'Maharaja' and 'Vamshakkobba'.
Before Kishan entered the record books, the title for the youngest film director in the world was held by a 13-year-old boy from New Zealand.
