Talking about his next film, Onir says, “I’m planning to make a film based on Shakespeare’s Hamlet. The film will be based on the novel but will be set in urban times.” Currently, they are working on the script of the film. The script is been written by Bhavani Iyer who shares the writing credits for Black with Sanjay Leela Bansali.
Says Onir, “It’s only after the script gets ready will I be approaching Hrithik.” The film will be produced by Ambika Hinduja and Dinesh Raheja who had also produced Being Cyrus. Onir says that relationships fascinate him and hence, he is very fascinated with Hamlet’s relationship with his mother and father. He would therefore, like to explore those relationships in his film.
