The documentary comes after the actor and his family's struggle with the disease. Ayaan, Emraan's first child with wife Parveen Sahani, born after four years of their marriage, was diagnosed with stage-1 cancer at the age of four.

Last year, Hashmi wrote of his son's struggle and treatment in a book titled The Kiss of Life: How A Superhero and My Son Defeated Cancer. The book was applauded for raising awareness about the disease. Now the documentary aims to do that further.

We salute the actor's efforts and wish him good luck for his deed.
