Mumbai, Apr 9 (IBNS): The makers of upcoming Bollywood movie 'Hawaa Hawaai', directed by Amole Gupte, on Tuesday released the first in a series of 'The Dreamer Videos', showcasing celebrities from different walks of life, speaking about their dreams and journey towards fulfilling them.

The first video of the series revolves around the well-known writer, director and actor Farhan Akhtar. It can be viewed on http://bit.ly/FarhanAkhtar-Dreams

Sharing his childhood memory, actor Farhan Akhtar said, "When I used to sneak into my father’s study… there were couple of Filmfares that used to be lying on the table, and a friend of mine and me would sneak in there, and we’d pose with those trophies and, you know, wave to the crowd, pretend that we won a Filmfare award."

Akhtar added, "So when I went up on stage and collected it, it really took me back to that moment. It was a very surreal fulfillment of that dream."

The video showcases Farhan Akhtar talking about his aspirations and his dream of making his children proud.

The story of 'Hawaa Hawaai' is about the remarkable journey of a poor boy ‘Arjun’, rich with dreams, as he tries to achieve his goal of becoming a champion in-line skater.

The movie stars Partho Gupte as Arjun, an in-line skater and Saqib Saleem as his coach.

Presented by Fox Star Studios and written, produced and directed by Amole Gupte, the film is slated to release on May 9, 2014, and is touted to be the first film on in-line skating in the world.
