A movie directed by Saumyy Shivhare and presented by the Oscar-winning musical prodigy of Madras, AR Rahman, is set to premiere on the 5th of September, 2020 on ZEE5.
The entire plot of Atkan Chatkan revolves around Guddu, a child laborer with a burning passion for music. Finding a rhythm in every single thing rises beyond his daily mundane life, and forms a band with three other kids. It is an inspiring story where the group decides to participate in a top-tier music competition in the city. The question is, will they succeed in fulfilling their ultimate dream while performing on the biggest stage? Or will the street remain as their only chance of hope? The journey to whether they achieve their dreams or not forms the essence of the story.
Programming head of ZEE5 India, Aparna Acharekar, said they are happy to present progressive, meaningful and unique cinema to the viewers with films like “Chintu Ka Birthday”, “Pareeksha”, “Mee Raqsam” and now, “Atkan Chatkan”.
In this movie, we have a star-studded cast with child pianist and AR Rahman’s protege Lydian Nadhaswaram playing the role of the main protagonist, Guddu. He is titled ‘The World’s best child pianist’ and is also the winner of CBS Show ‘The World’s Best’ 2019, USA, and recently appeared on the Ellen DeGeneres Show. The musical genius is now all set for his debut as an actor in this film.

This movie has an award-winning Production ensemble with Saumyy Shivhare’s direction, produced by Lokaa Entertainment PLC with acclaimed percussionist Sivamani as the music composer for the movie. “The music in the film plays an integral part, but it’s the story-line that will give the audience a sense of hope. The friendship between the four kids and their passion to fulfill their dream is the rhythm that the world would want to dance to while watching the film. Hope and burning passion are the key takeaways.” said Sivamani.
