## A Strong New Partnership in Indian Independent Film
For the first time, renowned actor Anshuman Jha and filmmaker Devashish Makhija are collaborating. In a significant creative collaboration between two of the most innovative voices in modern Indian cinema, the pair has announced a crime noir thriller.
## A Gritty Genre Film from Makhija’s Return
Makhija, who is well-known for Joram, Bhonsle, and Ajji, is about to present another compelling story. His upcoming movie crime noir thriller promises to be a bold, boundary-pushing thriller with complex characters, moral tension, and the director’s distinctive realism.
## The movie is led by Anshuman Jha
Anshuman Jha takes on the main role following the success of Lord Curzon Ki Haveli. Jha, who has received accolades for his roles in Love Sex Aur Dhokha, Chauranga, Lakadbaggha, and No Fathers in Kashmir, will play a character that is unlike anything he has ever attempted—layered, intense, and rooted in Makhija’s harsh world.
## Creators Discuss the Vision
- Makhija stated, “I want this movie to be the one that people remember me for.” Anshuman provides all the qualities this character needs: power, fragility, intensity, and stillness. *
- “I haven’t been this excited for a script since LSD,” Jha continued. Devashish creates experiences rather than just films. I was shaken by this script, and that’s when you say yes. * An International Co-Production The project is organised as a Indo-German-French co-production. Makhija and Jha were in Goa completing the structure of the movie. The Indian production partner will be First Ray Films of India. A Pivotal Point in the Development of Modern Indian Film The partnership represents a significant turning point in the development of independent Indian storytelling, where audacious ideas, creative experimentation, and stirring performances come together.
