Richie Mehta, the creator of Netflix's "Delhi Crime" and Prime Video's "Poacher", will produce the upcoming film "Boy From Andaman".

The project marks the directorial debut of Parinaz Jal and is produced by Janice Chua for Imagine Entertainment and Harman Baweja for India's Baweja Studios, along with Los Angeles-based Rick Ambros, Vancouver-based Bhhaskar De and Mumbai-based Sharmila Pinheiro.

Based on an original idea by Manu Chopra, the script was written by Jal and Chopra. The story follows Mohan, a post office worker in Mumbai who finds a letter addressed to "God" from a young tsunami survivor in the Andaman Islands. Their unlikely friendship, developed through correspondence, leads Mohan to travel to the Andamans to help the boy. The film "delves into the deep themes of faith as experienced by two characters navigating very different realities," according to a description from the producers.
