Deepa Mehta Sets ‘Troilokya,’ Indian Female Serial Killer Film, at Through the Lens Entertainment (EXCLUSIVE)
Deepa Mehta is set to direct ‘Troilokya,’ an Indian female serial killer film, for Through the Lens Entertainment and Open Air Films.
The Oscar-nominated “Water” (2005), set in the world of widows at an ashram, dealt with child marriage and misogyny and attracted violent protests while filming in India, forcing the production to relocate to Sri Lanka. Mehta went on to direct “Midnight’s Children” (2012), an adaptation of the book that caused its author Salman Rushdie to be put under a fatwa by religious extremists; and “Funny Boy” (2020), which told a gay sexual awakening story set against the backdrop of clashes between the Sinhalese and Tamil communities in Sri Lanka. “Not only is ‘Troilokya’ a spectacular historical drama, it is also a magnificently twisted love story of up to now un-heard true events,” said Aditya Chand, filmmaker and producer at Through the Lens Entertainment.
