Jeremy Allen White is such a brilliant actor! His performance in The Bear was outstanding. Excited to see him in this crime saga with Austin Butler. Hope they show it in Indian theaters soon! 🤞

$25 million budget sounds modest for Hollywood standards but perfect for a gritty crime drama. Dunham's last film was intense - hope he brings that same raw energy to this project. Indian filmmakers should take notes on how to make compelling thrillers without massive budgets.

Cat and mouse crime dramas are my favorite! But I hope they don't make it too violent. Hollywood sometimes goes overboard with gore. Indian crime shows like Sacred Games balanced it well - intense but not excessive.

Austin Butler was phenomenal in Elvis! Excited to see him transform into a contract killer. Though I wonder if Indian audiences will connect with this - we prefer more emotional depth in our films rather than just action sequences.

Shooting in Chicago? Would have been more interesting if they set it in Mumbai's underworld! Our local crime stories have so much potential for international audiences. Maybe next time they'll consider an Indian setting with local talent.

Jeremy's Emmy speech was so humble and genuine ❤️ Rare to see such grounded actors in Hollywood. Hope he brings that authenticity to this role. Though I wish more Indian actors got recognition at international awards - we have incredible talent too!
