On the World Toilet Day 2017, filmmaker Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra took the opportunity to share the poster of his next film 'Merey Pyarey prime Minister'. In this movie poster, a young boy is posing pointing towards a sketch of a toilet made on a wall with his mother. Based on a true story, the film revolves around the story of 4 young kids living in a Mumbai slum. In the film, one of the kids takes the responsibility to build a toilet for his single mother who has to defecate in open like other women in the slum. The boy makes an appeal to the Prime Minister and travels to the capital to convey his message. 'Merey Pyarey Prime Minister' features Anjali Patil as the lead. Shot in real locations of the slums of Ghatkopar followed by Powai in Mumbai, the film is directed by the Rang De Basanti director.

While shooting for the film in Mumbai's Ghatkopar area, the Rang De Basanti director was so moved by the affection and warmth of the slum-dwellers that in return he constructed 20 toilets for the residents of the Khandooba area. "It's the least one could do for the residents of Khandooba, for all the warmth and love they extended during the shoot of Mere Pyaare Prime Minister," Mehra was quoted saying by Zeenews.com at the inauguration of the toilets. Earlier, the ace filmmaker had received an NOC from the BMC to construct the 20 toilets, 5 of which will be separate for men and women and also for teachers of the municipal area.
