Case reopened

Here's the first look of Irrfan Khan in the Meghna Gulzar-directed Nyyoda, a fictional dramatisation of events revolving around the infamous Noida double murder case that shook the country in May 2008.

Irrfan plays an investigative officer (he's seen grilling one of the suspects in the picture) while Konkona Sen Sharma and Neeraj Kabi (of Ship of Theseus fame) play the dentist couple in Noida, Dr Nupur Talwar and Dr Rajesh Talwar, who eventually emerge as the prime suspects in the murder of their 14-year-old daughter Aarushi and 45-year-old domestic help Hemraj.

A source close to the film told Mirror, "Unlike earlier films made on the subject, Nyodda is a police procedural account told entirely from the cops' point of view. It will offer a different perspective on the case. Vishal Bhardwaj has written the script and Gulzar has penned the lyrics."

Nyodda will also see Bhardwaj's favourite actress, Tabu, in a special appearance. It is 80 per cent complete and will release later this year.
