27 Sep 2017

After Rangoon , Vishal Bhardwaj is all set to take on another interesting project. It has been learned that the filmmaker will be directing an adaptation of Adrian Levy and Cathy Scott-Clarks non-fiction book, The Exile: The Flight of Osama Bin Laden. Vishal Bhardwajs movie, titled Abbottabad , will be produced by the filmmaker and Junglee Pictures. They had previously collaborated on Talvar , based on the killings of Aarushi Talwar and Hemraj Banjade in 2008. The book gives an insiders account of Al-Qaidas leader Osama Bin Ladens movements after 9/11 attacks on the United States of America. It is about the history of the terrorist network, from 2001 to the present and reveals a dark web of familial and political machinations. Abbottabad is touted as a prequel to Katheryn Bigelows award-winning Hollywood film, Zero Dark Thirty , which was about the US mission to kill Laden in 2011. According to the reports, Abbottabad will be told from a guard named Ibrahims perspective who was protecting Osama Bin Laden at the house in Abbottabad.
