The
Dharma Productions chief, Karan Johar, has a way of surprising the audiences
with his films. Lately, he unveiled his upcoming production, Gippi, with the
release of the film’s first poster. To be produced by Dharma Productions and
directed by Sonam Nair, the upcoming film is a coming-of-age film that revolves
around the life of an overweight 13-year-old girl who simply doesn’t see the
point of dieting or losing her baby fat!

The
film stars Delhi-based 13-year-old Riya Vij playing the role of Gippi. The film
has been shot extensively in Shimla as well as Mumbai, as per reports and
rumors, and is a one-of-a-kind movie that will move viewers to tears, with its
humor and simple yet touching tale.
To
promote the film, Karan Johar has been roping in a bunch of actors who best
relate to Gippi. Actress Parineeti Chopra as well as her Ishaqzaade co-star
Arjun Kapoor has promoted the film by featuring in teaser promos for the film. “Since
Gippi doesn’t feature any big stars or known faces, the makers thought of
roping in two or three stars to spread the word about the film. Since Arjun is
popular among young audiences, he was one of the first choices for the task,”
says an insider. Gippi is scheduled for a 10th May, 2013, release.
Apart
from this film, Karan Johar has also unveiled yet another project, titled Yeh
Jawaani Hai Deewani. This film is directed by Ayan Mukerji and is scheduled to
release on the 31st of May, 2013.
