MUMBAI: Producer Farah Khan intends to screen her upcoming film Joker to underprivileged children.

Directed by her husband Shirish Kunder, the film is a fantasy-adventure film starring Akshay Kumar, Sonakshi Sinha, Shreyas Talpade and Minnisha Lamba.

“Joker is a complete family film and the kids already love our friendly aliens. We have been doing a lot of events with aliens and the reaction from kids has been out of this world," Farah said in a statement.

The makers of the film are planning to show the film to underprivileged kids and children from reality shows a couple of days before the movie releases. "As part of the film’s promotions, we are planning to show this movie to the kids," Farah added.

The film tells the story about a village called Paglapur that lacks basic facilities like water supply and electricity. Since no one comes forward to solve the problems, the character played by Akshay creates a drama involving aliens to attract people‘s attention.

Joker, jointly produced by UTV Motion Pictures, Farah and Shirish‘s production house Three‘s Company and Akshay Kumar‘s company Hari Om Entertainment, will release on 31 August.
