“Every father wants his child to be better than him,” says Suniel Shetty as son Ahan Shetty gears up for debut with Tadap

Sajid Nadiadwala’s upcoming production venture Tadap has been creating a great buzz even before the film went before cameras in August 2019. There are various reasons why film enthusiasts are waiting for the film’s release with bated breath, one of them being Bollywood action star Suniel Shetty’s son Ahan Shetty who is set to begin his acting career with the romantic action-drama.

Filmmaker Milan Luthria, who has previously directed such successful films as Kachche Dhaage (1999), Taxi No. 9211 (2006), Once Upon A Time In Mumbai (2010), and The Dirty Picture (2011), directs Tadap, which is being touted as his most intensely romantic film to date. Yet another reason why you should not miss the film when it hits the theatre closest to you.


What makes Tadap even more special for Suniel Shetty is the fact that his son is being launched by the same production house which has worked with him on multiple films in the past, including his second offering Waqt Hamara Hai (1993).

Sources close to producer Sajid Nadiadwala, who bankrolls Tadap under Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment, say that Ahan Shetty seems far more assured and confident on the screen than his father was in his debut film.

“Every father wants his child to be better than him. If Ahan is better than me then I am at the moment the proudest father in the universe. He is a very hardworking, sincere boy. I was never so focused on my career at his age,” reacts Suniel Shetty.

Tadap, a remake of the Telugu film RX 100 (2018), also features Tara Sutaria, Sunil Shetty, Sikandar Kher, Sharat Saxena, and Amit Sadh. The film is poised for its theatrical release on December 3, 2021.

The Kerala actress assault case explained: How it is changing industry culture in Malayalam cinema

Highlights:

  • February 2017: Actress abducted and sexually assaulted; case reported the next day.
  • Legal journey: Trial ran nearly nine years, with witnesses turning hostile and evidence disputes.
  • Verdict: Six accused convicted; actor Dileep acquitted of conspiracy in December 2025.
  • Industry impact: Led to WCC, Hema Committee report, and exposure of systemic harassment.
  • Aftermath: Protests, public backlash, and survivor’s statement questioning justice and equality.

You arrive in Kochi, and it feels like the sea air makes everything slightly sharper; faces in the city look purposeful, a film poster peels at the corner of a wall. In a city that has cradled a thriving film industry for decades, a single crime on the night of 17 February 2017 ruptured the ordinary: an abduction, a recorded sexual assault and a survivor who reported it the next day. What happened next is every woman’s unspoken nightmare, weaponised into brutal reality. It was a public unpeeling of an industry’s power structures, a slow-motion fight over evidence and testimony, and a national debate about how institutions protect (or fail) women.

For over eight years, her fight for justice became a mirror held up to an entire industry and a society. It was a journey from the dark confines of that car to the glaring lights of a courtroom, from being a silenced victim to becoming a defiant survivor whose voice sparked a revolution. This is not just the story of a crime. It is the story of what happens when one woman says, "Enough," and the tremors that follow.
