Mumbai: Prime Video just announced its collaboration with Hrithik Roshan’s HRX Films for their upcoming original movie, Mess. The movie marks the second collaboration between the streaming service and HRX Films after Storm.
Mess, produced by Hrithik Roshan and Eshaan Roshan under the banner of HRX Films along with Soda Films Lab, is helmed by Krishnan. The film’s original screenplay was written by American writer Paul Soter. The adapted version is written by Kapil Sawant.
“A key marker of a good story is if it takes you by surprise and keeps you entertained throughout. With Mess, we have a story that does not only that but makes you laugh at every step,” said Nikhil Madhok, Director and Head of Originals, Prime Video India.
He added, “The movie has a refreshingly original premise and a unique set of delightful characters. Hrithik and Eshaan, through HRX Films, bring a strong creative instinct and a genuine passion for storytelling, and after Storm, we are delighted to deepen our partnership further with this film. Rajesh A Krishnan is brilliant in this genre, and Mess has all the makings of a film that we believe will be loved by audiences in India and across the world.”
Mess tells the story of a diverse group of robbers who break into the house of a man with OCD. To their surprise, they get into trouble.
“Developing Mess alongside Kapil has been a truly rewarding experience – it has been great to collaborate with him once again. The world of this film is a thrilling amalgamation of comedy and chaos, and unusual enough to keep one at the edge of their seats. This film has been a creatively fulfilling and collaborative experience. Hrithik and Eshaan have brought their expertise and conviction to the film, and together, we have a dream cast to work with. As we move to production, I am grateful for all the support from HRX Films and Prime Video and convinced that the film has found the right home,” said the director about the project.
Speaking of the project, Hrithik Roshan commented, “Our partnership with Prime Video has allowed us to explore bold, innovative storytelling, and this project embodies that spirit perfectly.”
