So it tells the story of a poor kid named Baitullah who is working in a chai stall, the film poses a question to the society that “What does this child need to do, to become like you?.” It tries to ignite a question about child labour which ruins their childhood.”

“I had watch and was impressed by director Jitendra Rai’s previous short film A Cup of Tea. So when the film Baitullah came to me, I really liked the subject and became a part of it. The main aim behind making this film is for children the future of our nation, so that they can watch and get inspired through such films. I feel industry should make more films on such subjects”, adds Vipin Sharma who is best known for his acting roles in Taare Zameen Par, Gangs of Wasseypur, Kick, Paatal Lok.

Phas Gaye Re Obama and Tamasha fame actor Ishtiyak Khan shares on what prompted him to do this short film.

Millions of children across the world, and especially in India, are exploited and denied their childhood every day. It destroys the present and future of a kid due to various reasons.”

Lastly he adds,”Some people unknowingly becomes a part of such things by making them work and my character is one of them. He is only concerned about is financial and personal needs without feeling any responsibility towards society.”
