Delhi Crime creator Richie Mehta joins forces with Imagine Entertainment and Baweja Studios for Boy from Andaman

Delhi Crime and Poacher creator Richie Mehta, Imagine Entertainment and Baweja Studios partner on Boy from Andaman. The project is produced by Janice Chua, Rick Ambros, Bhhaskar De and Harman Baweja and directed by Parinaz Jal.

Richie Mehta will be the Executive Producer of the upcoming film Boy from Andaman. Making her directing debut is Parinaz Jal. The film’s producers are Los Angeles-based Rick Ambros, Vancouver-based Bhhaskar De and Mumbai-based Sharmila Pinheiro and Harman Baweja. Janice Chua are spearheading the project on behalf of Imagine Entertainment. Harman Baweja, who runs Baweja Studios in Mumbai, has come on board as a producer.

Based on an original idea by Manu Chopra, the script is written by Jal and Chopra, Boy from Andaman tells the story of Mohan, a post office worker in Mumbai who comes across a letter addressed to “God” from a young boy who has survived the deadly tsunami of 2004 in the Andaman Islands. An unlikely friendship develops between the two through a series of letter exchanges before Mohan decides to travel to Andamans and save the boy.

Boy from Andaman delves into the profound themes of faith as experienced by two characters navigating vastly different realities. Says Chua who is producing for Imagine Entertainment, “I was deeply moved by Manu Chopra’s story when it was first introduced to me through Rick and Bhhaskar. I’m thrilled to collaborate with the talented Richie Mehta and first-time director Parinaz Jal, to bring this powerful script to life”.

Ambros, a Hollywood veteran, and Bhhaskar, a producer and marketing and communication leader at the Vancouver-based law firm Remedios & Company and former Zee executive, said, “Boy is a story of hope and compassion that renews our faith in humanity, something often in short supply today. We are very excited about our collaboration with Janice, Richie, Pari and Harman in bringing this project to life.”

Richie Mehta says, ” When Janice Chua approached me about this story, I was instantly taken by the simplicity, potency, and beauty of it, and felt that as a collaboration between Imagine, Bhhaskar, Rick, Parinaz, Harman and myself, we could make something magical. I couldn’t be more excited to embark on this adventure and bring this powerful tale to life.”

Producer, writer, and actor Harman Baweja adds, “I’m excited to be part of such an ambitious project, Boy from Andaman—a story that is both heartwarming and inspiring. Working alongside such a talented team, including Richie Mehta, Janice Chua, Rick Ambros, and Bhhaskar De, is a privilege. The story of Mohan resonated with me, and I knew it was something we had to bring to life. I can’t wait for audiences to experience this beautiful journey of faith and humanity.”

EXCLUSIVE: The Buckingham Murders goes the Delhi Belly and Dhobi Ghat way; Kareena Kapoor Khan-starrer to release in original Hinglish and dubbed Hindi version

EXCLUSIVE: The Buckingham Murders goes the Delhi Belly and Dhobi Ghat way; Kareena Kapoor Khan-starrer to release in original Hinglish and dubbed Hindi version

Kareena Kapoor Khan is on a roll. Last year, she was seen in the murder mystery Jaane Jaan, which became one of the most-watched films on Netflix. This was followed by the theatrical hit, Crew. Now, she’s back with The Buckingham Murders. The teaser and posters have caught attention and now the team of the film is all set to launch the film’s trailer on September 3.

Bollywood Hungama has exclusively learned interesting details about the film’s release. More than a week back, the makers of the film dropped two teasers, one in English and one in Hindi. A source told us, “As the title suggests, the film is set in Buckingham, England. To maintain authenticity, in the original Hinglish version, the dialogues of local actors are in English. Even the ones of Indian origin are speaking Hindi with an accent.”

The source added, “There is a certain audience which might not be comfortable with a lot of English dialogues or accented Hindi. For them, the makers have decided to release a dubbed Hindi version. All the English dialogues and accented Hindi lines, in this version, have been dubbed in such a way that the desi audience would be able to decipher the goings-on.”

In the past, Aamir Khan similarly released Hinglish as well as Hindi versions of his films like Dhobi Ghat (2011) and Delhi Belly (2011). This boosted the collection of the film to some extent.

A trade source commented, “The decision to release two versions shows that the makers want the film to reach out to as many viewers as possible. The distribution company, Pen Marudhar, meanwhile, will surely get the right theatres for both versions across the country.”

 The Buckingham Murders will be released exclusively in cinemas on September 13, 2024. Apart from Kareena Kapoor Khan, the film features an exceptional ensemble cast, including Ash Tandon, Ranveer Brar, and Keith Allen. Directed by Hansal Mehta and written by Aseem Arrora, Kashyap Kapoor and Raghav Raj Kakker, the murder mystery is a Mahana Films and TBM Films production. It is presented by Balaji Telefilms and produced by Shobha Kapoor, Ektaa R Kapoor, and first-time producer Kareena Kapoor Khan.
