Twinkle Khanna’s short story ‘Salaam Noni Appa’, from her bestselling book, ‘The Legend of Lakshmi Prasad’ is being adapted into a film!
Applause Entertainment is partnering with Ellipsis Entertainment and Mrs. Funnybones Movies for the project.
Twinkle has emerged as one of the country’s foremost humorous authors and columnists, with her biting wit and sardonic insights about modern-day life.
The film is a winning comic romance that breaks stereotypes and is to be directed by one of India’s leading advertising mavericks, Sonal Dabral, who makes his debut with the film.
Said Twinkle Khanna, of Mrs. Funnybones Movies, “Salaam Noni Appa, from my second book, loosely based on the relationship between my grandmother and her sister, was first adapted into a lovely play. It’s a surreal moment to join hands with Applause and Ellipsis and see it turning into a movie, continuing to reach wider audiences, and leaping across multiple mediums.”
Director Sonal Dabral says, “A progressive sensitive story full of wit and observational humor, a hallmark of Twinkle Khanna. And producers like Applause and Ellipsis who have made a habit of creating some fresh, outstanding work. I couldn’t have asked for a better debut as a feature film director. I’m looking forward to bringing this story to life in a way that will not only inspire but be loved by all.”
