Baba teaser: Sanjay Dutt's maiden Marathi production explores the tenderness of a father-son relationship

Sanjay Dutt has unveiled the first teaser of his maiden production venture — a Marathi film called Baba. The clip follows a young boy suffering from a speech defect and his relationship with his father.

Set in a hamlet, the boy has a simple life. He spends time with birds and animals and exploring the nooks and crannies of the hamlet perched on the shoulder of his father. But his speech impairment isolates him and he is not admitted into the same school as children of his age.

Check out the teaser here
