Arjun Kapoor starrer India’s Most Wanted has a Shah Rukh Khan connection in it

Arjun Kapoor starrer India’s Most Wanted is one of the most awaited films of the year. The movie based on true events has been directed by Raj Kumar Gupta who has previously helmed movies like No One Killed Jessica, Aamir and Raid. The movie is just a couple of days away from its release and it has been revealed that the film has a Shah Rukh Khan connection in it.

SRK has been given special thanks in the credits of the film. Revealing the reason behind it, a source told a tabloid, “India’s Most Wanted is inspired from real-life incidents of a terrorist who was known as India’s Osama. The makers of the film were aware that the same miscreant had troubled Shah Rukh Khan with threats during his initial days in Bollywood and his stay in Mumbai. Hence, Raj Kumar Gupta and Arjun Kapoor approached SRK to include his storyline in India’s Most Wanted, to which the actor positively agreed. Shah Rukh has been duly credited for allowing his story to be featured in the film.”


Now, this is something quite interesting!

Reportedly, India’s Most Wanted is based on terrorist Yasin Bhatkal’s capture. However, the makers have not given any confirmation on it. The movie hits the screen on 24th May 2019.

How Lee Cronin’s 'The Mummy' turns a classic adventure into a domestic horror

Highlights

  • Moves away from the adventure tone of The Mummy (1999) into possession-led horror
  • Shifts the setting from desert tombs to a family home in Albuquerque
  • Focuses on parental fear and a “returned” child rather than treasure hunting
  • Relies on body horror, sound design and shock value over spectacle
  • Critics call it bold and unsettling, but uneven in storytelling

From desert spectacle to domestic dread

For decades, The Mummy has been tied to adventure, romance and spectacle, most famously in The Mummy (1999). That version thrived on sweeping desert landscapes, archaeological intrigue and a sense of escapism.

Lee Cronin takes a sharply different route. His reworking strips away the sense of adventure and relocates the horror into the home. The story still begins in Egypt, anchored by an ancient sarcophagus, but quickly shifts to the United States, where the real tension unfolds inside a family house.
