Shekhar Suman makes his directorial debut with a romantic medical thriller ‘Heartless’. Shekhar shares, “In some ways, ‘Heartless’ has a slice of my heart in it and is quite close to me because its dedicated to my elder son Aayush, who passed away at the young age of 11 due to an heart ailment. The film is based on a never seen before phenomenon of 'anaesthesia awareness', a frightening state where in patients who are administered anaesthesia are conscious from within; they can see, hear and even experience pain while their body remains still. The film was a huge emotional experience for me to direct and act with my son Adhyayan for the first time. He is a very sensitive and an intense actor.” The movie is set to release on 7th February 2014 and also stars Ariana Ayam, Deepti Naval, Madan Jain and Om Puri in pivotal roles.
