Production
After a hiatus, Nassar returns to directing with this film. The film was shot in 2010 entirely in Malaysia with his 12-year-old son, Abi Hassan, and Malaysian actor Jamali Shadat, who played the titular role.[1][2][3] The film was produced by Nassar's wife, Kameela, a child psychologist. Malaysian actress Aruna Bala and others play supporting roles in the film.[3] The reason for the film's delay was that Nassar did not want it to be Abi's debut film.[1]

Release
The film had a low-key release in 8 December 2012 and was released for two shows in a single theatre.[1] The film was also telecast.[2]
The Times of India gave the film three out of five stars and wrote that "It is not everyday that one comes across a movie that is both short and sweet. Sun Sun Thatha is just that, and all in the right proportions".[5]
