Shah Rukh Khan to make Love Hostel, will star Bobby Deol, Sanya Malhotra and Vikrant Massey

Actor Shah Rukh Khan’s production company Red Chillies in association with Dhrishyam Films will produce Love Hostel, starring Bobby Deol, Sanya Malhotra and Vikrant Massey.

Actor Shah Rukh Khan’s production company Red Chillies has announced a new film, Love Hostel. To be produced in association with Dhrishyam Films, it will feature Vikrant Massey, Sanya Malhotra and Bobby Deol.

Shah Rukh Khan will produce Love Hostel.

The film will be written and directed by Shanker Raman, who won acclaim for his film Gurgaon. The grim crime thriller will feature a young couple on the run, being hunted by a mercenary. It will play out against the background of the dusty plains on North India. The makers described it as ‘a survival tale in the game of power, money and principles with mayhem and bloodshed’.

Love Hostel will be the second collaboration between Red Chillies Entertainment and Drishyam films, who previously came together for the critically acclaimed Kaamyaab that released earlier this year. Love Hostel is slated to go on floors early next year and will release in the same year.

In the recent past, Bobby has been part of another Red Chillies production; a web series called Class of 83. Writing about it, the Hindustan Times review said: “Class of 83, a new Netflix cop drama that proudly embraces 80s movie tropes, unfortunately also appears to have a soft corner for vigilante justice. Its characters don’t contemplate the morality of their actions; neither do they question the deeds that they have been ordered to carry out. Instead, they revel in the violence, they believe in it.”

Vikrant Massey too saw his film, Ginni Weds Sunny, release during the lockdown. Sanjay Malhotra, meanwhile, was last seen in a supporting role in Shakuntala Devi and will be seen next in Ludo.
