Bollywood With the passage of time, filmmakers are reinventing themselves. So is the audience, who are getting used to the different stories and formats through western performances. Not long ago, Netflix and Charlie Brooker brought Black Mirror: Bandersnatch, a one-of-a-kind, immersive and choice-your-own-adventure format. It managed to grab attention for its newness. Similarly, the success of anthology movies on the Indian OTT platform is also proof that there is a hot demand for freshness.
Now, Viacom18 Studios in association with Siddharth Anand has announced India’s first aerial action adventure franchise, the first of which will be Deepika Padukone and Hrithik Roshan starrer Fighter. Siddharth said, “With this film we aim to put Indian films on the map for action-loving global theatrical audiences, who crave the spectacle and the big screen experience.” The film will be of a big budget and will involve new filmmaking techniques.
Elsewhere, Raj and DK will lead the Indian version of the Citadel, a one-of-a-kind project emerging in the West. With the Mothership series starting in Hollywood, with Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Richard Madden (already filming), the Citadel will also have local production in Italy, Mexico, India and other countries. Each series will have references to each other thus making it a truly global franchise. It is a high budget espionage franchise concept developed for Amazon by the Russo Brothers.
