Vishal Bhardwaj decides not to proceed with film with Nawaz

This news might come as a shock to those film enthusiasts who were eagerly waiting for the film which noted filmmaker Vishal Bharadwaj had, reportedly, planned with versatile actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Aditi Rao Hydari in lead roles.

According to latest reports, Vishal Bharadwaj has decided to scrap the project due to a string of creative differences with the Babumoshai Bandookbaaz actor.


Rumor has it that Vishal and Nawazuddin are not even on talking terms with each other as Nawaz's attitude irked almost everyone associated with the project. Creative difference between the two reached such heights that they had a huge fallout. So, they decided to part ways and shelve the project then and there.

Reportedly, Vishal is so upset with how things eventuated between Nawaz and him that he is not even planning for any replacement. “Vishal is not thinking of a replacement now. He has pushed ahead this film indefinitely. Meanwhile, Vishal plans to produce another film along with the Honey Trehan film, that stars Deepika Padukone and Irrfan Khan.”

Meanwhile, Nawazuddin Siddiqui will next be seen in Monsoon Shootout, which is slated to release on 15th December.

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.
