The social dramedy will focus on Down Syndrome, a condition that gets stigmatised in the society.

“He found a heartfelt story that sheds light on Down Syndrome and what people dealing with that go through. He wants to handle the subject very sensitively and create an impact that makes people suffering from the syndrome be treated as equals,” a source close to the development of the film said.
