Another Hollywood film shooting in Australia instead of India. Our film industry has so much potential for international projects if the government improves incentives.

The title "Kockroach" is quite unusual! Wonder if it will work well internationally or if they'll change it for different markets like they often do.

Good to see Zazie Beetz getting more prominent roles. She was excellent in Atlanta and Joker. Hollywood is finally recognizing diverse talent properly.

Crime boss transformation stories can be hit or miss. Hope the writing does justice to this interesting premise. The director's previous work gives me confidence!
