I'm thrilled to collaborate with the talented Richie Mehta and first-time director Parinaz Jal, to bring this powerful script to life".

Ambros, a Hollywood veteran, and Bhhaskar, a producer and marketing and communication leader at the Vancouver-based law firm Remedios & Company and former Zee executive, said, "Boy is a story of hope and compassion that renews our faith in humanity, something often in short supply today. We are very excited about our collaboration with Janice, Richie, Pari and Harman in bringing this project to life."

Richie Mehta says, " When Janice Chua approached me about this story, I was instantly taken by the simplicity, potency, and beauty of it, and felt that as a collaboration between Imagine, Bhhaskar, Rick, Parinaz, Harman and myself, we could make something magical. I couldn’t be more excited to embark on this adventure and bring this powerful tale to life."

Producer, writer, and actor Harman Baweja adds, "I’m excited to be part of such an ambitious project, Boy from Andaman—a story that is both heartwarming and inspiring. Working alongside such a talented team, including Richie Mehta, Janice Chua, Rick Ambros, and Bhhaskar De, is a privilege. The story of Mohan resonated with me, and I knew it was something we had to bring to life. I can’t wait for audiences to experience this beautiful journey of faith and humanity."
