MUMBAI MIRROR (August 14, 2018)

Fox Star Studios and Raj Kumar Gupta’s next offering is an espionage thriller, India’s Most Wanted, which is inspired by true events. It is the story of the mission that captured India’s most wanted terrorist without firing a single bullet. Arjun Kapoor will be seen playing the role of an intelligence officer for the first time on-screen.

Acclaimed director Raj Kumar Gupta, who recently delivered a hit with Raid and is also known for writing and directing taut narratives like Aamir and No One Killed Jessica, says, “India’s Most Wanted is very close to my heart. It’s a script that I have been researching and writing for the past three years and I am eager to tell a story that needs to be told. I am glad to be working with the talented, sincere and hardworking Arjun Kapoor on this film and am also looking forward to my first collaboration with Fox Star Studios as the producing partner on this film.”

Arjun, who is excited to collaborate with Fox Star Studios and Raj Kumar Gupta, says, “Raj sir was the first director to call me after the release of my first film Ishaqzaade. We’ve been waiting to collaborate ever since. India’s Most Wanted is a film about real people and real incidents. Raj sir has his finger on this genre’s pulse. As an actor, I feel India’s Most Wanted is something that is extremely unique as a film; it’s a special and important story that needs to be told. Personally, I’m entering an uncharted territory with this genre, I am nervous and excited working on such an evocative and impactful film that every Indian needs to watch.”

Rucha Pathak, Chief Creative Officer, Fox Star Studios, says, “At Fox Star Studios, we are excited when we spot a special script. When Raj Kumar first narrated the story to us, we knew we had found that special story. Our excitement doubled when Arjun agreed to be a part of this wonderful project. This is the story of our unknown, everyday heroes that we want to bring to the big screen and there is no better person than Raj Kumar to direct this film.”

Produced by Fox Star Studios and Raj Kumar Gupta, the film is slated for release on May 24, 2019.
