Here's the latest update from the Bollywood world:
Manoj Bajpayee's 'Ghooskhor Pandat' renamed 'Gajab Raat', to rollout on Oct 23 Directed by Ritesh Shah and produced by Pandey's banner Friday Storytellers, the crime thriller follows a police officer caught between personal gain and doing what he believes is right, as his decision sets off a chain of events over the course of one night, Netflix shared in a press rollout on Thursday.
Adding to this, "My association with Netflix has been an exciting journey, and 'Gajab Raat' is another project I'm delighted to be a part of," Bajpayee, who had also collaborated with the streamer for its 2025 movie "Inspector Zende", shared in a note.
Meanwhile, "I have always been drawn to characters who are not easy to define, and this movie gave me the opportunity to inhabit a world filled with suspense, moral dilemmas and questions of accountability. What makes the story particularly compelling is how the characters' motivations gradually reveal themselves as the night unfolds," he added.
Notably, "Gajab Raat" continues Pandey's creative association with Netflix following the success of "Khakee" franchise, "Sikandar Ka Muqaddar" and the of late-rolled out show "Taskaree".
As per the latest buzz, "I have always believed that an engaging story should do more than keep you guessing; it should also leave you thinking. 'Gajab Raat' is a thriller where the choices that people make push them to a point where there are no easy answers. The tension comes as much from the moral dilemmas the characters face as from the events unfolding over the course of one night," the filmmaker-producer shared.
In further updates, "Reuniting with Manoj and introducing Ritesh as a director was another exciting aspect of the project. I'm looking forward to audiences experiencing the movie on Netflix," he added.
On top of that, Shah, who has worked as a writer on projects such as "Kahaani", "Pink", "Airlift" and "Raid", shared he has been a huge fan of thriller movies.
" pull you into a situation and keep you guessing what happens next, and that was the starting point for 'Gajab Raat'. With the story unfolding over a single night, we had the opportunity to build a sense of urgency and keep raising the stakes as events unfold... I'm looking forward to audiences discovering the movie and experiencing the story for themselves," he shared.
