Makers roll out the first look posters of Hotel Milan

Filmmaker Vishal Mishra, who made his directorial debut with the highly controversial Coffee With D (2017), is set to release his next movie, titled Hotel Milan. Made under the banner of AD Films, the movie is produced by Haresh Patel.

Hotel Milan revolves around the much-publicized and equally criticized anti-Romeo squad and political hooliganism in the Northern state of Uttar Pradesh. Today, the makers launched the first look posters of the movie.


Talking about his new offering, director Vishal Mishra says, “It’s my pleasure to collaborate with Hareshji who has three decades of experience in production and distribution. He signed me within minutes after our first narration. It’s quite a daring film and I’m blessed to have a team with a big heart.”

The movie boasts of an impressive star cast, which includes the likes of Kunal Roy Kapur, Karishma Sharma, Jaideep Ahlawat, Zeishan Quadri, Rajesh Sharma, and Zakir Hussain.

Hotel Milan is slated to enter cinemas on the 14th of September, 2018. The makers are planning to roll out the trailer in August.

Riz Ahmed has entered Hamlet in a way British cinema has not quite seen. The new Hamlet trailer has been released by Universal, giving the first proper look at Aneil Karia’s modern take on Shakespeare and placing the story inside a British South Asian business empire. It is due in cinemas on 6 February, and the footage shows a tense, controlled Ahmed moving through grief, suspicion and family power.

The film teams Ahmed and Karia again after The Long Goodbye, which won the Academy Award for Best Live Action Short. That success informs this production. This is the first time a major UK studio release has grounded Hamlet within a South Asian household for a wide audience.
