Sriram Raghavan’s next thriller titled Aaj Ki Raat?

After the humongous success of his last directorial venture Andhadhun (2018), which starred Ayushmann Khurrana, Radhika Apte and Tabu in prominent roles, fans are curious to know what ace filmmaker Sriram Raghavan is making next.

Rumours were rife of late that he is teaming up with well-known producer Ramesh Taurani for his next movie. Though Taurani confirmed the development, adding that the film would start rolling in June, he remained tight-lipped about the storyline and cast.


However, if latest reports are to be believed, the makers have locked a title for the film. A leading entertainment magazine reports that the movie has been titled Aaj Ki Raat. Though it sounds a catchy title, the makers are yet to announce it officially.

Sriram Raghavan is one of the most successful filmmakers from the current crop. He began his directorial career in the year 2004 with the Saif Ali Khan and Urmila Matondkar starrer Ek Hasina Thi. After the success of his debut film, he went on to helm hits like Johnny Gaddaar (2007), Badlapur (2015) and Andhadhun (2018). We hope his next turns out to be an even bigger hit for the filmmaker.

Riz Ahmed has entered Hamlet in a way British cinema has not quite seen. The new Hamlet trailer has been released by Universal, giving the first proper look at Aneil Karia’s modern take on Shakespeare and placing the story inside a British South Asian business empire. It is due in cinemas on 6 February, and the footage shows a tense, controlled Ahmed moving through grief, suspicion and family power.

The film teams Ahmed and Karia again after The Long Goodbye, which won the Academy Award for Best Live Action Short. That success informs this production. This is the first time a major UK studio release has grounded Hamlet within a South Asian household for a wide audience.
