Of late, it would seem that Nagesh Kukunoor is focusing only on the digital medium. It has been almost seven years since the director’s last Hindi theatrical offering, Dhanak (2016). Barring a Telugu movie in 2022, he has been busy creating OTT series, including The Test Case (2017), City of Dreams and Modern Love Hyderabad (2022). But there is reason to cheer as Kukunoor shares that a movie is in the offing. “I am planning to make an indie film. It has been on my mind for some time. I’ve started writing it, but it’s not fleshed out yet. I want to go back to my Dhanak, Lakshmi [2014] roots,” begins the director, who is the mind behind acclaimed movies Hyderabad Blues (1998), Iqbal (2005) and Dor (2006).
