Screwvala's

In

the
creative

house
now
announces
Despatch,
their
next
direct-to-digital

that

two
powerhouse

together.
Directed

Kanu
Behl,
a
multiple
award
winning
writer
and
director,
Despatch
headlined
by
heavyweight
Manoj
Bajpayee,
is
an
investigative
thriller
that
unfolds
in
the
world
of
crime
journalism.
The
powerhouse
actor
plays
a
character
who
finds
himself
sucked
into
the
murky
underbelly
of
business
and
crime.
With
the
changing
landscape
of
content
consumption
in
the
country,
Despatch
with
its
distinct
perspective
and
relevance
is
sure
to
resonate
with
audiences.
Kanu
Behl,
who
made
his
debut
with
the
formidable
Titli
that
premiered
in
competition
at
the
Cannes
Film
Festival
and
went
on
to
win
a
string
of
international
awards,
ventures
into
noir
procedural
territory;
brought
to
life
by
Manoj
Bajpayee,
a
recipient
of
two
National
Awards
and
a
Padma
Shri
-
truly
making
this
a
delight
for
every
film
aficionado.
Producer
Ronnie
Screwvala
said
in
a
statement,
"The
scope
for
storytelling
is
incredible
right
now
with
new
platforms
and
evolved
audience
tastes.
At
RSVP
we
are
focussed
on
developing
our
own
scripts
and
screenplays
and
working
with
directors
that
share
the
common
vision
of
storytelling.
With
its
unique
perspective
and
gripping
storyline
'Despatch'
is
the
kind
of
content
we
believe
in."
Director
Kanu
Beh
said,
"Despatch
is
a
story
I've
been
itching
to
tell
for
a
while
now.
It
reflects
our
lives
and
times
and
could
not
be
getting
made
at
a
more
pertinent
moment.
Collaborating
with
Manoj
Bajpayee
and
Ronnie
Screwvala
on
a
piece
that
looks
to
push
cinematic
boundaries
is
exciting
and
I
look
forward
to
embarking
on
this
journey."
"As
an
actor
I
want
to
be
part
of
stories
that
I
want
to
tell
and
that
deserve
to
be
told.
Despatch
is
one
such
film.
With
the
digital
age,
our
stories
can
now
reach
and
be
accessed
by
viewers
across
the
globe
and
I'm
confident
this
film
will
have
many
takers
because
it
is
relevant
to
our
times.
I
am
looking
forward
to
collaborating
with
Kanu
Behl
who
is
well
versed
with
the
changing
times
and
has
total
control
on
his
craft
of
story
telling," Manoj
Bajpayee
was
quoted
as
saying.
