Did Vishal Bhardwaj Influence Anubhav Sinha's IC 814?

Anubhav Sinha was set to bring the IC 814 Kandahar hijack story to the screen, even as Vishal Bhardwaj had similar plans earlier. They discussed perspectives, with Bhardwaj approving Sinha’s approach. Bhardwaj’s project was rejected post the Tandav controversy. Sinha’s film features Naseeruddin Shah, Pankaj Kapur, and Vijay Varma.

Anubhav Sinha is all set to tell the story of the IC 814 Kandahar hijack . Not not long ago Vishal Bhardwaj was planning to make a show on the same subject. When ETimes asked Anubhav if Vishal had shared any insights with him about the story, Anubhav said, "It is not ethical but after I came on board I got to know about it.

We spoke and I told him about the lens I was using to tell the story, he really approved it " Anubhav added, "He reads all my scripts and i read his before they are made. But in this, case it was not fair on me to encroach upon his ..

Also that would color my lens." Vishal had reportedly said that his subject was rejected after the Tandav controversy . Monica Shergill from Netflix commented on the same, "Vishal's project was never with us.

In early September we bought the book rights, met captain Devi Sharan. That project was not our radar." Anubhav Sinha's IC 814: The Kandahar Hijack stars Naseeruddin Shah, Pankaj Kapur and Vijay Varma.
