Hyderabad: American entertainment production company Lonestar Films has made its first foray into Indian Bollywood productions with a full-length Hindi feature film titled Cancer, starring actors Sharibu Hashmi and Ahana Kumra.
Faisal Hashmi, known for directing Gujarati films like “Vitamin She” and the award-winning “Short Circuit”, made his Bollywood debut with “Cancer”.
“I’ve had my eye on this movie for a long time, and now that it’s about to take off, it almost feels surreal. I’m so grateful for the confidence Pankaj, Devansh, and Sharib have shown in the script, and I hope the movie will give a lot of respect to the project.” Everyone brings a lot of fulfillment,” Faisal said.
Speaking about the film, Sharib said, “The narration left me completely dumbfounded, I didn’t expect what was going to happen, the whole process was on my knees. I haven’t seen anything like this on Indian screens yet, and I truly believe that the script is our hero. I want to do my best to match.”
Cancer, touted as a mind-bending futuristic thriller, is currently in pre-production and will hit theaters early next year. The other two main actors are being sought. Sources say the movie will be one of the most visually lavish thrillers in recent memory, with the rest of the cast locked in before the end of the year.
