'Mess': Hrithik Roshan, Prime Video Announce Quirky Comedy, to Follow Thriller Series 'Storm'
Directed by Rajesh A. Krishnan, 'Mess' is a comedy with an unusual premise that is set to begin production soon.
Prime Video has announced its upcoming original movie, Mess, a comedy that marks the second collaboration between the streaming service and Hrithik Roshan's HRX Films following the announcement of the thriller series Storm.
The original screenplay for the film was written by American writer Paul Soter and the adapted screenplay and dialogues are written by Kapil Sawant. It is being directed by Rajesh A Krishnan. The story follows a group of robbers, who slowly realise they are the victims of a night-long standoff after invading the house of a man with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD).
According to Roshan, "Storm marked the start of something special with Prime Video, and Mess feels like a natural next step for us at HRX Films, our partnership with Prime Video has allowed us to explore bold, innovative storytelling, and this project embodies that spirit perfectly.”
According to the makers, Mess has now entered production. “A key marker of a good story is if it takes you by surprise and keeps you entertained throughout. With Mess, we have a story that does not only that but makes you laugh at every step.” Nikhil Madhok, Director and Head of Originals, Prime Video India.
Speaking of this collaboration, Madhok added, “ Hrithik and Eshaan, through HRX Films, bring a strong creative instinct and a genuine passion for storytelling, and after Storm, we are delighted to deepen our partnership further with this film. Rajesh A Krishnan is brilliant in this genre and Mess has all the makings of a film that we believe will be loved by audiences in India and across the world.”
Krishnan, whose films are known for their comedic sensibilities, said, Developing Mess with Kapil Sawant was rewarding experience. "The world of this film is a thrilling amalgamation of comedy and chaos, and unusual enough to keep one at the edge of their seats. This film has been a creatively fulfilling and collaborative experience. Hrithik and Eshaan have brought their expertise and conviction to the film, and we have a dream cast to work with.”
More details on the project will be unveiled soon.
