Hrithik Roshan recently announced a comedy film titled Mess, in association with Prime Video India. The film marks their second collaboration following the thriller series Storm. Produced by Hrithik Roshan and
Eshaan Roshan under the banner of HRX Films along with Rajesh A Krishnan’s Soda Films Lab, Mess will be directed by Krishnan. Now, a new report suggests that the makers have roped in Scam 1992 fame Pratik Gandhi to play the lead role.
According to Variety India, Pratik Gandhi has come on board for Mess. He is set to portray a man grappling with severe Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) in this quirky, high-concept film that cleverly blends humour with edge-of-the-seat tension. The story revolves around a group of robbers who break into his family home, only to find themselves in an unexpected situation where the tables gradually turn. As the night unfolds, it becomes clear that the intruders are the ones fighting to survive the chaos.
The report also reveals that the film will feature an ensemble cast, with Pratik leading the way and showcasing his comic timing, something audiences thoroughly enjoyed in Madgaon Express.
The original screenplay for the film was written by American writer Paul Soter and the adapted screenplay and dialogues are written by Kapil Sawant.
While speaking about the film, Hrithik earlier said in a statement, “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. Rajesh brings a distinctive voice both as a producer and director, with a rare ability to blend comedy with compelling narratives. His creative vision for Mess has been extraordinary from the start. As production ramps up, Eshaan and I are beyond excited by the potential of this project. We believe this film will resonate with audiences who appreciate fresh, unconventional stories that push the boundaries of the genre.”
The film is set to go on floors in a few months.
