Anurag Basu’s anthology film locks date for theatrical release

Filmmaker Anurag Basu last helmed Jagga Jasoos (2017), featuring Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif in lead roles. It has been close to two years since his fans have not seen his work on the silver screen.

Basu is currently working on his next film, which still remains untitled. Looking at the impressive star cast of the movie, we assume that the filmmaker is coming up with something really exciting.


The project is said to be an anthology drama, featuring Abhishek Bachchan, Aditya Roy Kapur, Rajkumar Rao, Fatima Sana Shaikh, Sanya Malhotra and Pankaj Tripathi in important characters.

Today, the makers announced the new release date of the film. Earlier scheduled to enter theatres on 6th September, the yet-to-be-titled film will now rock cinemas on 21st February, 2020.

Earlier, there were rumours that the movie is a sequel to Basu’s 2007 multi-starrer Life In A Metro. However, the filmmaker recently confirmed that apart from revolving around four different stories set in a quintessential Indian metro, there is no similarity between both the projects.

The film is produced by Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, Divya Khosla Kumar and Tani Somarita Basu.

Amazon’s ‘God of War’ reset proves Hollywood can’t get video game adaptations right

Highlights

  • Dave Bautista is taking over as Kratos after Ryan Hurst's injury forced Amazon to recast the role.
  • The series is effectively starting again, with none of the footage from the original production being used.
  • The major reset puts fresh pressure on Amazon's attempt to adapt one of gaming's most recognisable franchises.

Hollywood's relationship with video game adaptations has changed considerably in recent years. Shows such as The Last of Us and Fallout have demonstrated that games can translate successfully to television when their characters and worlds are treated with care. Amazon's God of War, however, has already encountered a production setback that makes its journey to the screen considerably more complicated.

Dave Bautista has closed his deal to play Kratos in the Prime Video series after Ryan Hurst, who was originally cast in the role, suffered a serious on-set injury. Hurst reportedly tore his bicep while performing a stunt in June, around four months into filming. Amazon MGM Studios and Sony Pictures Television subsequently decided to recast the central role.
