Actors Siddhant Chaturvedi and Alizeh Agnihotri are set to star in the Hindi remake of the acclaimed French film La Famille Belier. The musical drama will be directed by Vikas Bahl and is expected to explore themes of talent, family, and coming of age.
Originally released in 2014, La Famille Belier is a French-Belgian comedy-drama directed by Eric Lartigau. The story follows a 16-year-old girl who acts as the interpreter for her deaf parents. Her world shifts when her music teacher discovers her singing talent,
forcing her to choose between pursuing her dreams and staying back to support her family.
An insider connected to the production told PTI, “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 Belier’, 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.”
