Don’t miss the premiere on Tuesday, 29th July at 12 pm, only on Zee Cinema.
Directed by debutant Shouryuv, Hi Papa takes you on a ride that beautifully captures the bond between a father and daughter, the ache of separation, and the power of love. Known for its heartwarming performances, the film was widely appreciated for the chemistry between Nani and Mrunal Thakur, both delivering standout portrayals. Kiara Khanna, playing the young Mahi, brought an innocence and heartfelt sincerity that resonates deeply with audiences. The music, composed by Hesham Abdul Wahab, adds an extra layer of emotion, perfectly complementing the film’s moving narrative.
Talking about the film, Nani, who plays the loving father, shared, “I think I was the first one to come on board for Hi Papa, and when I hear a script, I don’t listen to it as an actor — I experience it as an audience member first. When I heard this story, it truly moved me. It had been a long time since I came across a film that captured the beauty of love and the bond between a father and daughter in such a heartfelt way. I was craving to be a part of something like this. I’m really excited that audiences across India will now get to experience the warmth and emotion of Hi Papa on Zee Cinema.”
Mrunal Thakur who plays the character of Yashna, added, “The moment Shouryuv Garu narrated the script to me, I was completely drawn in. I’m very emotionally connected to the characters I choose and in my heart, I knew Yashna was someone only I could bring to life. Filming Hi Papa brought back so many memories from my own childhood, and it was an incredibly personal journey for me. I hope the audience feels the same love, warmth, and depth that I felt while making this film.”
Speaking about his debut, Director Shouryuv said, “Hi Papa may be a fictional story, but it’s deeply rooted in emotions and experiences that have shaped me. As a first-time director, I wanted to tell a story that’s heartfelt and universally relatable something every family, across any language could connect with. The love the film has received so far has been truly overwhelming. I’m now excited for audiences on Zee Cinema to experience the same warmth and emotion that went into creating Hi Papa.”
“Hi Papa” is a heart-tugging celebration of fatherhood, forgotten love and rediscovered bonds. It’s a reminder that even the deepest wounds can heal when love finds its way back home. Watch the World Television Premiere of Hi Papa, Tuesday, 29th July at 12 pm only on Zee Cinema
