Many of us have probably not even heard of Nila Madhab Panda, but Prince Charles has. The first in line to the British throne wants to watch the debutant director's film on child literacy titled I Am Kalam, produced by the Indian not-for-profit organisation Smile.

A print will soon be flown to London. The film has apparently attracted the attention of some of the biggest Hollywood celebrities, including actors Goldie Hawn and Steven Seagal, Charlie Chaplin's grand-daughter Carmen Chaplin and Mary Parent (the chairperson of MGM Worldwide Motion Picture Group).

All the celebrities have shown their keenness to see the film because our ex President Dr APJ Abdul Kalam's name is associated with it. Hawn was present at the film's screening in Los Angeles on April 12 on the opening day of the Indian Film Festival in Los Angeles.

Gulshan Grover, who acts in the film, has sent a trailer to all his Hollywood friends. He also met Prince Charles in London and discussed the film with him. "Prince Charles sent his best wishes and said he would like to see the film at the earliest, " said Grover.
