New Delhi: Actors Gulshan Devaiah and Rasika Dugal-starrer 'Little Thomas' is set to release on October 23.

The film is directed by National Award-winning filmmaker Kaushal Oza and backed by Anurag Kashyap. It also features Hridansh Parekh and is set in Goa in the 1990s. The film follows Thomas, the only child of his parents, who desperately wants a little brother, according to a press release.

"One day, he is told that to get a baby brother his parents will have to kiss. Since his quarrelling parents won't kiss any longer, little Thomas takes it upon himself to make them do the yucky act!" the film's synopsis reads.

Devaiah said it was a "fulfilling experience" to collaborate on the film.

"It is a heartwarming story of a simple family from Goa… Being a part of the amazing works built by Kaushal Oza and sharing the screen with Rasika Dugal has been a very memorable experience for me," he said in a statement.

Dugal added, "It is a film which is committed to the soul of its story without resorting to unnecessary frills. There are also such films being made for children today, particularly films that don't talk down to them. I feel Little Thomas fills that gap in a very lovely way; it is a children's film, but one that adults can enjoy just as much."

'Little Thomas' is also backed by Ranjan Singh, Rajnikant Oza, Charu Oza, Anushka Shah and Kabir Ahuja alongside Kashyap under the banners Luminoso Pictures, Civic Studios, Flip Films and Good Bad Films.
