Sharing his excitement at the development, Vishal said, “Agatha Christie had a tremendous skill of defining emotional chaos, dysfunctional relationships and the turmoil in her characters while engaging us in a riveting mystery. Future films will follow the duo as they continue to investigate multiple murder mysteries. The first film will introduce a young heroine who is thrown into solving a murder, and teams up with an unlikely companion to unravel the case. While iconic characters Hercule Poirot, Miss Marple and Tommy & Tuppence are identified with Agatha’s creations, a press statement claimed Vishal will create a new pair of lead investigators inspired from one of her famous stories. The first film is scheduled to go on floors early 2021. The work on script for first film of the franchise is currently in development, but name of her book being adapted first is yet to be announced.

Filmmaker Vishal Bhardwaj has partnered with Agatha Christie Limited to develop a series of movie adaptations for Indian audiences.
