Anurag Kashyap and Vikramaditya Motwane present Ravi Muppa's Incognito; launch Oh Flip Shorts on July 15
Here's the latest update from the Bollywood world:
Incognito arrives on the platform on the heels of a decorated global festival run, playing at over 20 international festivals including the prestigious, Oscar-qualifying Palm Springs International ShortFest.
Adding to this, “I’ve always loved short films as they are the first stepping stone for a director to test their storytelling style and give them actual practice in shooting a story,” shared Kashyap. “Continuing the same, this is our effort to showcase some excellent short films, curated by me and presented by filmmakers whose work I look up to. We’re glad to begin with Incognito by Ravi Muppa, and very hopeful that it’ll be liked by the audience,” he added.
Meanwhile, Vikramaditya Motwane says, “ Incognito is gripping and beautifully atmospheric, a true blue genre short with an out of the box ending. Congratulations to Ravi and his team and I’m so happy that we can present this to the audience”.
Notably, Incognito follows the story of a cash-strapped motel receptionist who profits off hidden-cam videos—until he records a girl in danger of being trafficked and must decide whether to save her or protect himself.
As per the latest buzz, Writer-director Ravi Muppa, whose works include titles like Stree (2018), Bala (2019) and The Family Man (2019), noted that the digital rollout marks a major milestone for the project.
In further updates, “The movie has been an incredibly special journey, and I’m deeply grateful to the producers, collaborators, and champions who believed in it and helped carry it forward. I’m especially excited that this is just the beginning, as we now look ahead to expanding Incognito into a feature.”
On top of that, Executive Producer Ranjan Singh, who backed the short under the Flip Films banner, expressed immense gratitude for the directorial support anchoring the channel's launch. He shared, “We are thankful to Anurag for the curation, and Vikram and other directors to lend their support to the same. Every month we’ll be premiering one new short on the channel and hope that we’ll be able to make a community very soon.”
As previously revealed, a feature-length adaptation of Incognito is currently in active development. The soon-to-release feature will be co-produced by Hollywood's Invention Studios alongside Flip Films and Campfire Studios, with Anurag Kashyap, Nicholas Weinstock, Divya Souza, and Ranjan Singh locked to serve as producers.
