After the romantic film 'Prem Prakaran,' director Chandresh Bhatt is now gearing up for his next venture, a heartfelt family drama titled 'Sanghvi and Sons.' The film promises to explore deep-rooted relationships, emotional bonds, and the value of togetherness, marking a significant shift in genre for the filmmaker. The film is scheduled for release on 18th July, 2025. In an exclusive interview with ETimes, director Chandresh Bhatt opened up about his upcoming film Sanghvi and Sons, the inspiration behind the story, the casting process, and more details.


What inspired your move from a romantic musical to a family drama with
'Sanghvi and Sons'?

The COVID-19 pandemic was a period of deep reflection for many, and for me, it became the inspiration behind this story. During those uncertain times, when the world slowed down, we were reminded of what truly matters: the warmth of family, the strength of relationships, and the importance of staying connected with our loved ones. This story is a heartfelt tribute to those emotions and realizations.


What is the core message or emotion you want audiences to take away from this film?

Nothing in this world is more important than family. They are our true support system, the ones who stand by us when everything else falls apart. So cherish every moment you spend with them. In times of struggle or when life feels overwhelming, it’s your family that will be there to lift you up and remind you that you’re never alone.

How did you go about casting for this film, especially the actors playing different generations in the family?

From the very beginning of writing the script, I was clear about who I wanted for the main roles; actors like Manoj Joshi, Hiten Tejwani, Komal Thacker, Gaurav Paswala, and a few others were always in my mind. Once the script was completed, I finalized the rest of the cast. Personally, I don’t believe in chasing big names or relying heavily on auditions when casting. I prefer to follow my instincts and choose artists who truly fit the soul of the character.

Your last film was known for its music. How important is music in 'Sanghvi and Sons'? Have you taken a different musical approach this time?

Yes, definitely, music has always been an essential part of my storytelling. This time, the music is composed by Kedar Bhargav, and believe me, you won’t be disappointed. He’s brought a unique touch and emotional depth to the soundtrack that beautifully complements the narrative.
