Streaming giant Netflix has announced its upcoming film ‘Thar’, starring Bollywood actors and real-life father-son duo Anil Kapoor and Harsh Varrdhan Kapoor.
The revenge noir thriller marks the directorial debut of Raj Singh Chaudhary and is produced by Anil Kapoor Film Company (AKFC).
Chaudhary has also written the film and penned the dialogues with Anurag Kashyap.
Inspired by the western noir genre, ‘Thar’ is set in the eighties and centres on Siddharth, played by Harsh Varrdhan, PTI reported from Mumbai.
“Shifting to Pushkar for a job, Siddharth embarks on a journey to avenge his past. Will he succeed or does Pushkar have something else to offer him?” read the official logline.
‘Thar’ is the second collaboration between Anil Kapoor and Harsh Varrdhan after ‘AK vs AK’ where the two (Kapoor and Kashyap) were seen as themselves. It also stars Fatima Sana Shaikh and Satish Kaushik.
‘Thar’ is set to premiere on Netflix this summer.
