During shooting the film, there was one very enthusiastic young man who seemed to be everywhere, doing everything behind the scenes to ensure things ran smoothly. He'd spring into action the moment he figured something needed to be done - always with a smile. And automatically he became a natural choice as a character for the film. 36-year old Venkatesh is a teacher at the community school, someone who stepped in when the school had no teachers and children were dropping out. Adored by his little students, he discovers education as the key to transform the future.
