Overview
- Little Thomas, a family film about a curious boy who longs for a younger brother, stars Gulshan Devaiah, Rasika Dugal and child actor Hridansh Parekh and is scheduled to release in Indian theatres on October 23, 2026.
- Director Kaushal Oza says the film took roughly nine years from script to India release and completed an international festival run that helped secure domestic distribution.
- Anurag Kashyap co-produced the film and, according to Oza, gave the creative team a free hand, a backing that Oza calls crucial because studios often resist children's projects.
- Gulshan Devaiah frames the choice as a deliberate move away from villain roles toward family-oriented work and says his career decisions are driven by artistic interest rather than money.
- Producers and cast hope the film’s festival visibility and Kashyap’s support will encourage more Indian children's films to reach theatres and give families more non-violent mainstream options.
