The trailer of Nanhey Dil, starring Suniel Shetty, has been released, offering a glimpse into a story centred on childhood, equality and equal opportunities. Written and directed by Swarup Raj Medara, the film highlights how talent and aspirations should not be limited by social or economic backgrounds. Following its screening at international film festivals, the film is now gearing up for a theatrical release on November 20, 2026.
Suniel Shetty plays the principal of a prestigious school who recognises the potential of Raghu, a young boy whose father works as a dhobi. Believing that a child’s abilities should not be judged by their family background, the principal gives Raghu an opportunity to study alongside children from privileged families. Through this story, the film explores the importance of providing every child with equal opportunities and the freedom to pursue their dreams.
Talking about what attracted him to the project, Suniel Shetty said, “Nanhey Dil is a film about children, about giving equal opportunities to everybody and how important it is for us to make sure everybody is comfortable. It has a beautiful message and could definitely be an eye-opener for modern-day parents. I think this generation believes in equality, and that you have to live your dream and not live the dream of your parents. I’d want my children to live their dream, not mine. I think today’s parents are all about honesty, and taking care of their parents and children. So hats off to this generation. I took this film on because it was a simple story to tell and I am glad that such stories are being heard and are finding global platforms.”
