Vishal Bhardwaj to Develop Film Franchise Based on Works of Agatha Christie
News 18Filmmaker Vishal Bhardwaj is set to adapt renowned British mystery writer Agatha Christie’s works into a film franchise for Indian audiences. Christie’s crime stories centred on fictional detectives Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple, but Bhardwaj will be introducing a new pair of lead investigators taking inspiration from one of the Queen of Crime’s famous stories. The filmmaker-composer, best known for his acclaimed Shakespeare trilogy Maqbool, Omkara and Haider, is producing the franchise through his banner Vishal Bhardwaj Films in collaboration with Agatha Christie Limited, headed by Christie’s great-grandson James Prichard. I’m truly excited at the prospect of developing a new Agatha Christie film franchise in India, and am delighted to be partnering with Vishal, who is a multitalented and visionary filmmaker with a terrific track record for adapting works to create memorable pieces of cinema.
