IDream to release Fired on 29 January
MUMBAI: IDream Production will release its forthcoming film Fired, directed by debutant director Sajit Warrier, on 29 January next year.
The film, a 90-minute psychological horror Hindi film, stars Rahul Bose, British Model Militza Radmilovic and Dinesh Lamba.
Based in London, the film is the shocking tale of a man who pays a steep price for his cold-blooded actions.
Joy Mittal, the arrogant CEO of a company, in a hardnosed decision to repair his scandal ridden work record and prove his ability to emerge as a pioneering leader in times of financial crisis, fires 121 employees from his London office to cope with the global economic slowdown.
Amongst the sacked employees is Ruby Herminson, 29, an alluring, sophisticated, career-driven woman, with whom a married Joy is having a long affair.
Joy fires Ruby along with the rest of the people he considers expendable. After a tiring day, Joy decides to finish off some paperwork before heading home, but soon realizes that the only possible means of leaving is the one he least bargained for.
Cornered in a deserted office, Joy soon realizes that there is a gruesome super-natural force in the building, which is hell-bent on extracting revenge for his ruthless actions.
The film has already drawn ire from the Censor Board for its gory scenes and steamy kissing and lovemaking scenes between Rahul Bose and Militza.
