After Amazon Prime Video web series Mirzapur, Ali Fazal and Shriya Pilgaonkar will reunite for Netflix film House Arrest. Directed by Shashanka Ghosh and Samit Basu, the comedy is about a man who locks himself up in a home and puts himself under self-imposed house arrest only to find that while he can try to keep away from the world, he can’t stop it from finding him.
Ahead of the release of the film, the streaming service has released a teaser for a film. Watch it here:
Speaking about the film, Ali said in a statement earlier, “House Arrest' is a fantastic script. It's witty, very fresh and for me, selfishly, the character is very arched and layered. So it was a fun time on sets to play this part. Even though it is a comedy, it is complex and I got to go on set everyday and do something new and fresh even though it was all one place.”
“Working the second time with her (Shriya Pilgaonkar) was a natural comfort that just came without trying. Also, Shashanka Ghosh is a genius along with Samit Basu who is the brains behind this venture. They both have such clarity on what they want and how they want it. While they are the leaders of the free world, they also allowed us actors to have a free hand to work with our creative liberties too,” he added.
House Arrest streams on Netflix from 15 November.
