Vikram Vedha director duo launch production house, to back young filmmakers
Vikram Vedha director couple, Pushkar and Gayatri, have launched their production company called Wall Watcher Films.
Filmmaker and husband-wife duo Pushkar-Gayatri on Thursday announced their new production company named Wall Watcher Films. They are best known for directing R Madhavan and Vijay Sethupathi starrer Vikram Vedha.
Through their joint Twitter handle, they posted: “Many years ago, we heard a couple of scripts from young talented filmmakers which enthralled us. We wanted to produce those films but at that point, we didn’t have the resources or the bandwidth. Now, the time has come.”
“We’re excited to embark on a new adventure! The launch of our production house: ‘Wallwatcher Films’. Our focus will be on stories and storytellers.” They further revealed that the details regarding their first production venture will be revealed tomorrow.
Meanwhile, Pushkar and Gayatri are headed to Bollywood for the Hindi remake of Vikram Vedha. It’s been over a year since news about the remake was announced. However, there’s been no concrete update since the announcement. Not long ago, rumours made the rounds that the Hindi remake will reportedly feature Shah Rukh Khan while Madhavan will be retained to play his same character. However, it has been learnt that the makers are yet to officially finalise the cast and crew.
Following the runaway success of Vikram Vedha, producer Sashikanth hinted that if things work out, a sequel could be made. “The film has a very ambiguous ending and a lot of people must be wondering what happened to Vikram and Vedha. There’s a possibility that a sequel could be made,” Sashikanth said, confirming talks for remake in “Hindi and Telugu have begun”.
