It is not an exaggeration to say that Sriram Raghavan is the finest new-age filmmaker when it comes to delivering nail-biting edge-of-the-seat thrillers. Almost all his films have been critical as well as commercial hits at the box-office with his last Andhadhun (2018) being touted by many his best film so far.
Besides his competent direction and taut writing, what made Andhadun a perfect thriller was its performances. Ayushmann Khurrana, Tabu and Radhika Apte just nailed their characters. Impressed by the powerful performance from Ayushmann Khurrana in the film, we hear that the filmmaker has offered him yet another suspense thriller.
“Sriram has pitched an idea to Ayushmann and he has liked it very much. In fact, he has also given his nod to the project. Sriram had taken time off to write two scripts. This is yet again a typical Sriram Raghavan film which will be dark, intriguing and mysterious,” a source tells an Indian daily.
Some section of the media recently reported that the said project could be a remake to Andhadhun. However, the source rubbishes the rumour. “Sriram doesn’t believe in making sequels and franchises. Although there has been enough talk about Andhadhun 2, this film isn’t that one. It’s a new project with a completely fresh plotline and he plans to mount it sometime this year, after Ayushmann completes Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan,” adds the source.
Meanwhile, Sriram Raghavan has also teamed up with Tips Films’ Ramesh Taurani for a suspense thriller. More details are awaited.
