The leading home-grown Indian OTT platform ZEE5 has dropped the trailer of their upcoming spy thriller, London Confidential. Created by one of India’s most prolific crime writers S. Hussain Zaidi, the high-profile ZEE5 Original film stars Mouni Roy and Purab Kohli in principal roles. Kulraj Randhawa, Sagar Arya, Parvesh Rana, Jas Binag, Diljohn Singh, and Kiren Jogi round off the cast.
The trailer of London Confidential starts with RAW agent Uma (Mouni Roy) trying to prove that the Chinese are conspiring against India after the deadly COVID-19 brought the entire world to its knees. Biren Ghosh, an undercover agent, tries to bring proof to Uma ahead of a conference in London. After an unexpected turn of events, Biren goes missing.
The narrative will revolve around finding the source behind the conspiracy. Will Uma win the race against time and find the mole to save the world? Or will this new deadly Chinese virus sweep away the land of various cultures?
Talking about her role in the series, Mouni says, "Shooting the film was one of a kind experience. Being a part of a film that is cantered around the pandemic and shooting for it during a pandemic, was quite surreal. I would like to extend all the credit for that to our director and ZEE5 for pulling this project off. The trailer is out and I essay the role of a RAW agent named Uma. She is strong, independent, and hardly shows her vulnerable side. She is on a mission to find the mole and put the Chinese conspiracy to an end. It was a demanding role and I hope people enjoy my character and the escapism in the film. It is one of a kind spy thriller that will absolutely challenge the viewers' psyche.”
Produced by Ajay G Rai and Mohit Chhabra and directed by Kanwal Sethi, London Confidential stars streaming on18th September, 2020, on ZEE5.
Mukerji parts ways with YRF’s Dhoom 4 after reported creative disagreements.
Decision said to be amicable, with Aditya Chopra and Ranbir Kapoor supportive.
Director shifts focus to Brahmastra: Part Two – Dev, expected to begin filming in 2026.
Filmmaker steps away from YRF’s action franchise
Filmmaker Ayan Mukerji has stepped away from Yash Raj Films’ (YRF) highly anticipated action project Dhoom 4, reportedly due to creative differences. According to Bollywood Hungama, Mukerji’s vision for the film did not align with the studio’s direction, prompting him to withdraw from the project.
Mukerji, who was in discussions to direct the next instalment of the hit franchise—expected to star Ranbir Kapoor—was said to have limited control over the script, which was reportedly written by Shridhar Raghavan. The director, best known for Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani and Brahmastra, was keen on shaping the film creatively rather than simply executing an existing plan.
A source quoted in the report said, “Ayan didn’t have much say in the screenplay and didn’t want to embark on another journey of just execution.”
Amicable parting after discussions with Aditya Chopra
Before stepping away, Mukerji is believed to have held several discussions with YRF head Aditya Chopra and actor Ranbir Kapoor. Both reportedly supported his decision, with insiders describing the split as “completely amicable.”
The director’s departure does not mark the end of Dhoom 4, as YRF plans to continue with the project under a new director. The studio may also reconsider casting options, despite earlier reports that Ranbir Kapoor had set aside dates for the film.
Focus returns to the Brahmastra universe
Following his exit from Dhoom 4, Mukerji has shifted attention back to his passion project—the Brahmastra series. The filmmaker is currently developing Brahmastra: Part Two – Dev, the sequel to the 2022 fantasy epic.
The film, initially expected to begin production earlier, is now likely to go on floors in 2026. Sources suggest Mukerji intends to expand the Astraverse with more depth in storytelling, combining elements of mythology, drama, and spectacle.
