Apart from anime, I’ve been hugely keen on some live-action serial content in recent months and I have a few Netflix favorites. Lately it appears Anurag Kashap (Gangs Of Wasseypur) and Vikramaditya Motwane (Bhavesh Joshi Superhero) are ready to oblige the Netflix crowd this summer as well with upcoming crime saga, Sacred Games.
From Guneet Monga, the producer of THE LUNCHBOX, the most successful foreign-language movie of 2014 to date in the U.S., GANGS OF WASSEYPUR is director/writer/producer Anurag Kashyap’s ambitious and extraordinary blood-and-bullets fueled crime saga that charts seventy years in the lives – and spectacular deaths – of two mafia-like families fighting for control of the coal-mining town of Wasseypur, India. Inspired by the real-life exploits of local gangs and beginning with the bandit-like career of Shahid Khan (Jaideep Ahlawat) in the 1940s, the film follows the ruthless rise of his son Sardar (a brilliant Manoj Bajpayee) and his offspring, the surreally-named Danish, Perpendicular and Definitive Khans and their numerous wives and girlfriends.
