Is India’s Most Wanted based on Yasin Bhatkal’s capture? Here’s what director Raj Kumar Gupta has to say

Arjun Kapoor starrer India’s Most Wanted is inspired by a real-life event. The makers are calling the antagonist of the film India’s Osama and from the day trailer has been released; everyone is thinking who this India’s Osama is. There were reports that the movie is based on the capture of Yasin Bhatkal, the man behind numerous bomb blasts in India including the German Bakery blast in Pune.

Recently, in a media interaction, the director of the film Raj Kumar Gupta was asked if his movie is based on Yasin Bhatkal’s capture, to which he said, “Everybody is asking me this question. But I would like to just say that it is inspired by a real-life event. What the film is about and what journey it is, I won’t tell you that, you will have to come and watch the film. But it is a very emotional and thrilling journey from the day I decided to make it.”


Well, Gupta clearly didn’t give out any detail about the film. But let’s hope that our question is answered once we watch the movie. India’s Most Wanted is slated to release on 24th May 2019. It will be clashing with Vivek Oberoi starrer PM Narendra Modi.

'The Social Reckoning' review: Aaron Sorkin’s Facebook sequel turns the algorithm into the villain

Highlights

  • The Social Reckoning revisits the world of Facebook 16 years after The Social Network
  • Aaron Sorkin turns his attention to misinformation, extremism and the consequences of Facebook’s algorithms
  • Mikey Madison and Jeremy Allen White lead the film as whistleblower Frances Haugen and journalist Jeff Horwitz
  • Jeremy Strong plays Mark Zuckerberg in a deliberately unusual performance
  • The film makes a strong case against Facebook while sometimes leaning into Sorkin’s trademark self-righteous dialogue

Aaron Sorkin returns to the world of Facebook with The Social Reckoning, but this time the story is less interested in how the social media giant was created and more concerned with what it has become.

Sixteen years after Sorkin wrote The Social Network, the filmmaker returns as both writer and director for a whistleblower thriller centred on former Facebook data engineer Frances Haugen and Wall Street Journal reporter Jeff Horwitz. Mikey Madison plays Haugen, while Jeremy Allen White takes on the role of Horwitz.
