The television star cum B-Town actor Shekhar Suman is geared up to make his directorial debut with the medical thriller ' Heartless ' starring his son Adhyayan Suman in the lead role. This romantic flick features Ariana Ayam as the lead lady. Recently, the father-son duo along with their lead heroine promoted their upcoming film at Jai Hind College festival 'Detour' in Mumbai.

Reportedly, the college crowd at Jai Hind College was overwhelmed to see the starcast of ' Heartless ' and they gave a rocking response to the event. The director Shekhar Suman was much mesmerized by the great response by the college students. He expressed his happiness by saying that "The Detour festival organised by Jai Hind college was another exciting experience in the series of visits that I have been doing lately to promote my film ' Heartless '. It is important that people understand the gist of my film and specially anaesthesia awareness which is an integral part of my film. The students present in the auditorium loved the promo and responded with a thundering applause. The students were very attentive, heard everything with rapt attention and were curious to know what the film was about. It is always better to interact with your audience on a personal basis so that they can understand the film better. The director and the cast of any film always need an assurance from their audience and the way everybody responded to Adhyayan and his singing, a brief interaction with Ariana was an indication that they had not only liked what they saw, but were also very eager to watch the film. No wonder all of us came back contended and with a huge smile on our faces."

The lead actor of the film Adhyayan Suman narrated his views about the event by stating that "About Detour, it was so amazing and heart-warming to be at Jai Hind College the crowd was so loving and enthusiastic. Even though I have to see only two plays, it was super to see young talented students so confident on stage. I was extremely touched and happy about the fact that the trailer was so well received by everyone. Can't wait to come back to perform when the music comes out."

Produced under the banner of Windmill Entertainment by Alka Suman , ' Heartless ' also features Om Puri , Deepti Naval , Madan Jain and Shekhar Suman . The movie is slated to release on February 7, 2014.
