Vir Das as a director now? Interesting. His comedy is brilliant but horror needs a different touch. Hope he pulls it off. Also, September is stacked - Mirzapur and Haiwaan both releasing? My wallet is ready but my heart might not be! 😅
Found-footage horror is a bold choice for Bollywood. Sri Lankan and Korean cinema do it so well, hope we match that energy. Shriya's enthusiasm is infectious though - girl is literally living her dream. More power to her! ✨
Nice to see the Indian film industry experimenting with genres like found-footage horror. This is a genre that's been very popular in the West - hope it translates well for Indian audiences. Best of luck to the team! 🍿
Honestly, I'm a bit tired of the gangster-drama genre post Mirzapur, but the film might still be good. Priyadarshan with Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan though? That's a solid combo. Shriya is definitely climbing the ladder with smart choices.
Amazon MGM + Excel Entertainment = guaranteed production quality. Mirzapur: The Film has huge expectations on its shoulders. September 4th can't come soon enough! 🔥🔥
