Prime Video India and HRX Films have announced “Mess,” a comedy film marking their second collaboration following the thriller series “Storm.”
Rajesh A. Krishnan is directing the film with a screenplay adapted by him and Kapil Sawant from an original script by American writer Paul Soter. The production is led by Hrithik Roshan and Eshaan Roshan under HRX Films, a division of FilmKraft Productions, in partnership with Krishnan’s Soda Films Lab.
The plot centers on a group of robbers who break into the home of a man with OCD, only to end up in a struggle for their lives overnight.
Krishnan, known for his work in television commercials, transitioned to longer formats with credits including the 2019 heist comedy “Lootcase” and the 2024 film “Crew.” He also worked on the first season of the series “Tripling” in 2016.
“The mark of a great story is its ability to surprise and entertain,” stated Nikhil Madhok, director and head of Originals at Prime Video India. “The film offers a unique premise and delightful characters. Hrithik and Eshaan bring creativity and a love for storytelling, and after ‘Storm,’ we’re excited to expand our partnership. Rajesh excels in this genre, and ‘Mess’ is poised to captivate audiences in India and worldwide.”
Founded by Hrithik Roshan in 2019, HRX Films continues a filmmaking legacy from Rakesh Roshan’s FilmKraft Productions and J. Om Prakash’s FilmYug, with Eshaan Roshan as CEO.
“‘Storm’ began our journey with Prime Video, and ‘Mess’ is a fitting progression for HRX Films,” expressed Hrithik Roshan. “Our collaboration with Prime Video has allowed us to explore innovative storytelling, perfectly reflected in this project. Rajesh brings a distinct voice, blending comedy with engaging narratives. His vision for ‘Mess’ has been remarkable from the outset.”
“Working on ‘Mess’ with Kapil has been immensely gratifying,” Krishnan commented. “The film is a dynamic blend of comedy and chaos, keeping viewers engaged. Hrithik and Eshaan’s expertise and commitment have been invaluable, and we have an incredible cast to work with.”
Production for the film is set to begin soon, with casting and additional details to be shared.
