Gurinder Chadha is forging an indie Christmas movie about an Indian Ebenezer Scrooge set in London, financed by Zygi Kamasa’s new UK distributor True Brit. Chadha has been trying to make the untitled movie for three years, she said, but was told at the beginning that Apple TV+ was forging a similar pic starring Will Ferrell and Ryan Reynolds, which became Spirited and launched in 2022.
