First trailer for Lootere: Hansal Mehta thriller features a kidnapped Indian ship in Somalia

Lootere, a new web series from Hansal Mehta, has released its debut trailer and looks to be a brutal thriller. Jai Mehta, the son of Hansal, is the show’s director, while Rajat Kapoor plays a significant part.

Vivek Gomber, Deepak Tijori, Rajat Kapoor, Chandan Roy Sanyal, and Amruta Khanvilkar all appear in the next episode on Disney+ Hotstar. Rajat Kapoor can be seen holding a pair of binoculars on his ship in the teaser’s opening long shot of a boat on the water. They soon find themselves in the midst of a hijack, and then there is mayhem and bloodshed. The film also provides a behind-the-scenes look at the production, allowing us to observe Hansal at work on the sets. 

Hansal posted the teaser on his Instagram profile with the following message: “Presenting the @jaihmehta directed film #Lootere with pride. #HotstarSpecials #Lootere, a story of greed, survival, terror, and mayhem, will be released soon. Produced by @shaaileshrsingh @KarmaMediaEnt @shaaileshrsingh #LootereOnHotstar #DisneyPlusDay #FirstLook”


One of the first people to remark on the post was the director Nikhil Advani. How fantastic does this look, he wrote. JaiHMehta, a full chip off the old block, will eventually teach us some things. #Lootere @DisneyPlus @mehtahansal @shailesh r sing Apurva Asrani, a film editor and writer, added heart-eye emojis to the message as well.

Hansal Mehta’s next film, Faraaz, is a directorial effort in addition to Lootere. The Holey Artisan cafe attack, which shook Bangladesh in July 2016, is the subject of this action-thriller. The movie was chosen earlier this month to screen at the BFI London Film Festival in 2022. Aditya Rawal, the son of Paresh Rawal, plays a significant role and actor Zahan Kapoor makes his acting debut.

HBO defends JK Rowling’s involvement in Harry Potter series despite problematic stance on transgender community

JK Rowling, whose Harry Potter book franchise gave Warner Bros a blockbuster film franchise, is also associated with its upcoming HBO series.

JK Rowling has remained decidedly steadfast on her controversial stance on the transgender community. In a statement to Variety, HBO explained why the author is still involved in its upcoming series on Harry Potter despite her problematic gender politics.

What HBO said

“We are proud to once again tell the story of Harry Potter — the heartwarming books that speak to power of friendship, resolve and acceptance. JK Rowling has a right to express her personal views. We will remain focused on the development of the new series, which will only benefit from her involvement,” HBO’s statement stated.

It also added that its parent company Warner Bros “been working with JK Rowling and in the Harry Potter business for over 20 years” and “her contribution has been invaluable.” The report also states that HBO chief Casey Bloys informed the media at an event on November 12 that JK Rowling was “very, very involved in the process selecting the writer and the director,” and her anti-trans statements “haven’t affected the casting or hiring of writers or productions staff.”

A couple of days before that, Rowling had shared a screenshot of a tweet by an X user who wrote, “My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined” when the author had revealed that she’s “very involved” in the Harry Potter series. Rowling wrote along with the screenshot, “I’ve only just seen this response to me saying I’m very involved in the Harry Potter TV show and I think I’ve pulled something laughing.”

About Harry Potter series

Warner Bros launched an open casting call for the leads Harry, Hermoine and Ron, who were played by Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint, respectively, in the eight-part movie franchise.

The series will most likely go ahead with newcomers for the top three characters and mix it with veterans for the adult cast, like the movie franchise, which featured Richard Harris as Dumbledore and roped in Michael Gambon after his death. Late star Maggie Smith played Professor McGonagall, and Alan Rickman starred as Professor Snape.

Mark Rylance, 64, who won an Academy Award for best supporting actor in 2016 for his work in Steven Spielberg’s Bridge of Spies, is reportedly at the top of the casting wishlist to play Dumbledore in the Harry Potter series.
