'Mission Cinderella' to become Akshay Kumar's debut web show?
- IndiaGlitz, [Tuesday,May 17 2022]
Apart from his acting skills and immense star power, Akshay Kumar is known for the fast and efficient way in which he wraps up his films. Like always, he currently has multiple interesting projects under development and one of them is titled 'Mission Cinderella'. The film is an Hindi adaptation of Tamil blockbuster 'Ratsasan' and the latest buzz suggests that makers are planning to turn it into a web show.
A source close to the development told Pinkvilla, The story beautifully lends itself to the episodic format of filmmaking, and hence, the entire team is currently trying to tweak the edit to make it a limited episode OTT series. If need be, they are ready to shoot some of the portions again to keep the episode on a cliff hanger. Basically, the makers are looking to position it as Akshay Kumar’s digital debut in the episodic format.”
The source further added, They don’t wish to dilute the impact of this story, which holds the viewer on the edge of their seat until the end. However, there is also a talk on how the longer format will give the director some more time to establish the psych of his characters in a better way. It’s all in the early stages, but if everything materialises, Cinderella would make a debut as an OTT original series.”
The source concluded, “It could premiere as a film, as a series or possibly both the versions, giving viewers a chance of selecting based on their taste of consuming entertainment. While the series would have some additional footage, the film would be short a crisp, much like the original.
