Warner Bros to release Horrible Bosses on 25 May
MUMBAI: After a year-long wait, when the film ran into the nitty-gritty’s of the Censor Board, Warner Bros is set to release Horrible Bosses across India on 25 May, eleven months after its international release.
Initially, the film was to release on 8 July last year but since the Censors raised several issues in terms of content it took over a year for the makers to solve. The film has since been certified with a ‘A’ certificate.
The plot follows three friends, played by Jason Bateman, Charlie Day and Jason Sudeikis who decide to murder their respective abusive bosses.
When it released in June last year, Horrible Bosses exceeded financial expectations and accrued over $28 million in the first three days to make it the number two film in the US in its opening weekend and later went on to become the highest grossing black comedy film of all time by grossing over $209 million worldwide.

Rajesh Ramaswamy exits The Script Room to focus on filmmaking journey
Ad filmmaker steps away from own venture to pursue direction and storytelling
MUMBAI: In a move that has caught the attention of the advertising and creative community, Rajesh Ramaswamy has announced his exit from The Script Room, the company he co-founded, marking the end of a seven-year stint at the helm.
The decision, which came into effect earlier this month, signals a shift in focus for Ramaswamy, who is now looking to immerse himself fully in filmmaking and direction as an independent creative.
Known for blending sharp advertising insight with storytelling craft, Ramaswamy has been instrumental in shaping The Script Room into a creative hub that delivered campaigns, branded content, and original storytelling formats. Over the years, the company collaborated with agencies, directors, and a wide network of writers, while also experimenting with formats such as short films and web series.
Sharing his thoughts on the transition, Ramaswamy indicated that the move is driven by a desire to focus and explore stories he has been developing over time. While he acknowledged the unconventional nature of stepping away from one’s own venture, he also framed it as a necessary leap toward clarity and creative pursuit.
Importantly, The Script Room will continue its operations with its current team and leadership, with Ramaswamy expressing confidence in the group that helped build the company’s identity. The studio, he noted, remains well-positioned to evolve further with fresh talent and ideas.
His exit also reflects a wider industry trend, where experienced advertising professionals are increasingly transitioning into independent filmmaking, tapping into the growing opportunities across digital and long-form content platforms.
As Ramaswamy steps into this new phase, the move underscores a familiar creative instinct, sometimes, the boldest ideas begin with a clean break.
