Want to make a film? Get a OnePlus

Making a film – a proper feature film, not a video for YouTube or some other social network- is generally considered to be a highly specialised task. You need specialists who know how to handle film-making cameras. Finally, you need the cameras themselves – often big, bulky, complicated and power hungry devices. Or maybe you could just get the right people and give them a OnePlus and tell them to go make a film.

Sounds outrageous? Sounds just like what a certain Never Settling brand would do. In fact, that’s exactly what happened recently. Renowned filmmaker Vikramaditya Motwane’s Andolan Production released its latest feature film ‘2024’ on Disney+ Hotstar a few days ago. The film is based in Mumbai in the near future – 2024, to be exact – and revolves around how four youngsters who grew up in an orphanage in Dharavi, struggle for survival in the middle of a pandemic. It is a thriller, complete with high octane action in all sorts of lighting conditions, from broad daylight to the night and showcasing a wide variety of locations and actors.
