Kanu Behl made the bone-chilling Titli back in 2015 and is now coming up with Despatch that was screened at MAMI Mumbai Film Festival 2024. It stars Manoj Bajpayee as a curious and conniving journalist that will go to any lengths to get his job done. And the actor approaches his role with just the right amount of restlessness he has mastered by now. It also stars Shahana Goswami, Mamik, and many other actors in crucial role.

It will be available on Zee5 soon but in an interview with Firstpost, the director spoke about casting Bajpayee for the role, the idea behind the film, and his one takeaway from the experience.

I mean, writing is always the toughest part of the process. Writing is always geared towards having some sort of truth in what you’re writing and also trying to subvert as much of the plot and story as possible. Because, really, at the end of the day, you’re dealing with emotion, and the basic need that an audience has is to see people. And whether they need whether they know it or not, they’re there to see a certain time, a character in at a specific point of time in a specific space. And that is really the memory that an audience is left with.
