It is not the first time that Bhardwaj is adapting a book into a film. He has previously adapted Shakespeare’s works into movies. Maand brought it into play with the Indian political surrounding. Macbeth (Maqbool), Hamlet (Haider) and Othello (Omkara) show Vishal’s skill and dexterity as a filmmaker. Now Vishal has veered towards Agatha Christie. He is reportedly planning to make a franchise based on Agatha Christie’s novels. The series would apparently feature a new pair of lead investigators, whose casting is still being finalised. The shoot of the first part of the franchise would begin in 2021. 
This film would introduce the young heroine, who has the task to solve murders and then finds an unlikely companion to do so. Meanwhile, there is no confirmation about which specific novels the director has picked. Meanwhile speaking to the media, Vishal said that Agatha Christie Limited, the estate that manages the literary and media rights to her works, had contacted him. He said he felt very honoured and fortunate that after Shakespeare, he will get to work on a project based on Christie’s work. Vishal Bhardwaj has signed up for an entire franchise. The movie will begin filming in early 2021but he is silent on which of Agatha Christie’s works he is adapting.
