Agatha Christie work reimagined in Hindi by Franklin filmmaker
Sridhar Kallidai has been reading Agatha Christie’s world-famous mystery novels ever since he was a child. He and his siblings fought over who would read new copies first.
Now he is in the midst of producing a feature film adaptation of Christie’s first ever novel, The Mysterious Affair at Styles, first published in October 1916.
Kallidai and co-producer Mukhtiar Singh have reimagined it as ‘Summerville Murder’, starring Christie’s beloved Hercule Poirot – but with a twist.
The entire film is in Hindi and Poirot is reimagined as Harkishan Purohit, a genteel detective with that distinctive moustache (although Kallidai hopes Singh, playing Purohit, can grow it out a bit more).
It’s a local production in the truest sense of the word. Kallidai lives and works in Waiuku and the cast and crew are from across Auckland.
