Raj Kumar Gupta: My next film, India’s Most Wanted, has nothing to do with the TV show with the same name

Filmmaker Raj Kumar Gupta shares that he is happy with the way the film has turned out. He also reacts to the success of Raid, adds he is content with all the love and wants to just keep his head down and continue working.

After the success of Raid, Raj Kumar Gupta’s next film has been the talking point of the town. Interestingly, the filmmaker has finished shooting for the espionage thriller titled India’s Most Wanted and the movie is on the editing table. But what’s bothering him is how the name of the film is being compared to a TV show by the same name.

“I have been telling this to those who are confusing two things. My film has nothing to do with the show. It’s an espionage thriller that is inspired from true event, how one of India’s most notorious terrorists was caught without firing a single bullet,” says the director.

It took him three years to make the film. When asked about the same, Raj Kumar shares that it’s a sensitive subject that required proper research and execution. And that he is happy with the final product. “The subject is close to my heart and something that I wanted to do for a long time. I took time in terms of writing the film, deciding on the cast and then it was held for a year and Raid happened. I did not want to rush into the film and spoil it,” he adds.

Regarding the satisfaction from the success of his last Bollywood film, Raid, again based on a real-life event and starring Ajay Devgn, Raj Kumar adds, “I don’t look at it in a different manner. You always make a film that you want to make, whether it clicks or works with the audience or not depends on them. I want to keep my head down and continue working hard.”
