When
one
thinks
of
Anubhav
Sinha,
they
naturally
expect
fireworks
of
some
kind.
Now
bring
Sudhir
Mishra
to
the
mix,
and
it's
a
creative
genius
jodi
right
there.
The
duo
remain
unparalleled
individually
as
their
peers
attempt
to
match
up
to
the
conviction
of
their
individual
cinematic
voice.
Sinha
is
popularly
referred
to
as
the
man
who
gave
Bollywood
a
spine
by
making
films
on
untapped
into
subjects
like
ingrained
patriarchy
in
Thappad,
Islamophobia
in
Mulk
and
the
caste
divide
in
Article
15.
On
the
other
hand,
Mishra
is
known
to
be
unapologetic
and
unabashed,
making
movies
that
trigger
a
dialogue,
the
most
recent
one
being
Serious
Men.
With
the
duo
enjoying
the
golden
phase
of
their
career,
they've
decided
to
unite
for
a
crackling
new
film.
At
a
time
when
massive
projects
are
being
put
on
hold
for
logistical
reasons,
Sinha
will
be
producing
Mishra's
next
-
a
relationship
drama
that
will
be
shot
on
a
lavish
scale
and
requires
major
preparation
time.
The
film
will
be
shot
after
Sudhir's
next
movie
that
Anubhav
Sinha
is
producing,
which
goes
on
floor
mid
next
year.
Both
films
will
be
produced
by
Sinha's
production
house
Benaras
Mediaworks.
A
source
informs
us,
"It's
important
for
the
world
cinema
communities
to
converge
at
this
point.
And
Sinha
along
with
Mishra
is
just
attempting
that.
It's
the
kind
of
script
that
needs
an
international
look
and
feel.
They
need
a
global
gaze
to
the
story.
The
pre
production
will
begin
post
Diwali.
The
film
has
been
locked
over
multiple
meetings
through
the
week.
Polish,
Korean,
Japanese
and
Swedish
talents
are
being
reached
out
to
by
the
production
house.
This
will
be
their
second
venture
together
and
will
go
on
floors
next
year.
"
Mishra
and
Sinha
have
been
friends
for
over
two
decades
but
the
project
is
their
second
collaboration
together.
This
particular
project
requires
exhaustive
prep
time
for
locking
talents
and
venues.
This
is
definitely
the
largest
Indo-American
project
to
be
in
the
works
post
pandemic.
Confirming
the
same,
Sinha
says,
"As
a
producer,
my
hunt
is
always
to
find
fresh
ideas
that
push
the
envelope.
Sudhir
bhai
brings
to
each
piece
of
cinema
his
distinct
voice
that
makes
the
film
so
unique.
I
am
extremely
keen
to
start
the
project
and
we
soon
get
into
pre
production."
Ask
him
for
details
and
he
passes
the
buck
to
Mishra.
Tight
lipped
naturally,
all
he
volunteers
is,
"Sinha
is
one
of
the
coolest
producers
Bollywood
has.
I
thought
being
his
friend,
I
should
exploit
some
of
that
opportunity
I
have
at
my
disposal
(Laughs)
We
have
a
good
story
at
hand.
We
are
able
to
see
that
this
is
a
novel
idea
and
if
told
right,
the
film
will
get
cinephiles
from
across
the
globe
discussing
it.
I
can't
wait
to
start
the
film."
