Former Bollywood actress turned author Twinkle Khanna’s book, ‘The Legend of Lakshmi Prasad’ became a best seller for it’s delightful short stories. One such story in the book titled Salaam Noni Appa is now being adapted into a film. Production houses Applause Entertainment has partnered with Ellipsis Entertainment and Mrs. Funnybones Movies on this project. The film will be helmed by advertising maverick Sonal Dabral who is making his directorial debut with this film. 

Talking about the film Khanna said, “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.” 

Debutant director Sonal stated, “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.” The cast of the movie is yet to be finalized.
