Netflix original 'Dhaka' starts production in India
Netflix original film 'Dhaka,' starring Hollywood superstar Chris Hemsworth, has started its production phase in India from last week. The 'Thor' famed actor shared images from the first week's shoot on the set of the film on his official Facebook page on Wednesday.
He wrote: "Week one down here in India. By far some of the most intense action sequences I've been apart of and the heat certainly adds an edge to it but damn we're getting good stuff!! Gonna be unreal." The film is a co-production between 'Avengers: Infinity War' (2018) directors Joe Russo and Anthony Russo's (commonly known as Russo brothers) independent production house, AGBO, and Netflix.
The film will be the directorial debut of stunt coordinator Sam Hargrave who has worked on several films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The film will be released on Netflix. 'Dhaka' will be shot in India, Thailand and UK. The story revolves around Hemsworth's character rescuing a kidnapped Indian boy held in Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh.
"Physically brave but an emotional coward, the man has to come to terms with his identity and sense of self," a recent Deadline report describes the film's logline. The screenplay of 'Dhaka' is written by Joe Russo.
