Hrithik Roshan Teams Up with Prime Video for Quirky Comedy ‘Mess’
Prime Video has officially announced its upcoming original movie Mess, a comedy directed by Rajesh A. Krishnan, marking the second collaboration between the streaming service and Hrithik Roshan’s HRX Films after the thriller series Storm. The film has now officially entered production.
A Unique Premise
Written by American writer Paul Soter, with adapted screenplay and dialogues by Kapil Sawant, Mess follows a group of robbers who slowly realise they have fallen victim to a night-long standoff after breaking into the house of a man with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). The story promises a blend of suspense, chaos, and comedy, keeping audiences entertained at every step.
Hrithik Roshan shared his excitement about the project:
“Storm marked the start of something special with Prime Video, and Mess feels like a natural next step for us at HRX Films. Our partnership with Prime Video has allowed us to explore bold, innovative storytelling, and this project embodies that spirit perfectly.”
Prime Video’s Take
Nikhil Madhok, Director and Head of Originals, Prime Video India, highlighted the film’s potential:
“A key marker of a good story is if it takes you by surprise and keeps you entertained throughout. With Mess, we have a story that does not only that but makes you laugh at every step. Hrithik and Eshaan, through HRX Films, bring a strong creative instinct and a genuine passion for storytelling. After Storm, we are delighted to deepen our partnership further with this film. Rajesh A. Krishnan is brilliant in this genre, and Mess has all the makings of a film that we believe will be loved by audiences in India and across the world.”
Director Rajesh A. Krishnan on the Project
Krishnan, known for his expertise in comedy, expressed enthusiasm for the collaboration:
“Developing Mess with Kapil Sawant was a rewarding experience. The world of this film is a thrilling amalgamation of comedy and chaos, and unusual enough to keep one at the edge of their seats. Hrithik and Eshaan have brought their expertise and conviction to the film, and we have a dream cast to work with.”
Looking Ahead
With production underway, audiences can expect a mix of humor, suspense, and inventive storytelling from Mess. More details about the project, including cast announcements and release plans, are expected to be revealed soon.
