Actors Siddhant Chaturvedi and Alizeh Agnihotri are set to headline the Hindi remake of acclaimed French movie, “La Famille Bélier”.
Directed by Éric Lartigau, the 2014 French-Belgian film is a coming-of-age comedy-drama revolving around a 16-year-old girl who is the interpreter for her deaf parents. Her life changes when her music teacher discovers her beautiful singing voice and she has to choose between pursuing her dream and her responsibility towards her family.
“There’s a film with Siddhant Chaturvedi and Alizeh Agnihotri, which Vikas Bahl will be directing. It's a beautiful film. It’s a remake of a French film ‘La Famille Bélier’, which was remade as ‘CODA’, and it won at the Oscars. It's a musical, it’s in the space of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ‘Khamoshi’. We’ve taken it from the original French film,” an insider said.
