Netflix’s recently announced Abbas Mustan flick ‘Penthouse‘ has just gotten bigger and badder!
The streaming giant had announced in May that it has green-lit a project by the talented director duo Abbas Mastan. The Netflix Original film, titled Penthouse, was to star Sharman Joshi as lead.
Now comes news that two other compelling names have been added to Penthouse — those of Bobby Deol and Arjun Rampal. Penthouse is touted as an action thriller. With its fast expanding cast, and Abbas Mastan’s reputation of making movies loaded with twists and turns, we can safely assume that the Netflix Original will be a thrill-a-minute crime caper, a la the director brothers’ thrilling Race franchise.
Other notable works by Abbas Mastan are landmark Bollywood films like Khiladi, Baazigar, Soldier, Ajnabee, Baadshah, Aitraaz, Humraaz, 36 China Town, Race, Race 2, among others.
Penthouse is Bobby Deol’s second project with Netflix. The first is Class Of 83, directed by Atul Sabharwal, for Red Chillies Entertainment. Sharman Joshi has done ALTBalaji’s Baarish 1 and Baarish 2 as his maiden web projects. Arjun Rampal had ZEE5’s The Final Call as his web debut. Penthouse will be his second web series.
Abbas Mastan have not finalised any female leads for Penthouse yet. But we can be certain that the female leads lineup will be as interesting as the male leads lineup. Setting up compelling ensembles for their productions is the special forte of the director duo.
