Mahesh Narayanan, who is known for helming the Malayalam political-thriller ‘Malik’, is set to make his Hindi directorial debut with the upcoming film ‘Phantom Hospital’.
Narayanan said: “I was instantly drawn to the story inspired from true incidents in the healthcare sector of India. It gives me immense pleasure to associate with Priti Shahani, who as a producer, has consistently delivered quality content, and Josy Joseph, whose meticulous research has added great layers to the story.”
“My films have received so much love from the Hindi audiences that I am truly looking forward to directing my first Hindi feature.”
Priti Shahani, the Bollywood producer behind movies such as ‘Talvar’, ‘Raazi’ and ‘Badhaai Ho’, announced a genre-bending new feature film in collaboration with Josy Joseph.
Based on an unprecedented investigation into the Indian healthcare system, ‘Phantom Hospital’ will mark Narayanan’s entry into the Hindi film industry.
Announcing the project, Priti said her new content house believes in harnessing the power of great stories, especially those rooted in reality and rigorous investigation.
‘Phantom Hospital’ results from one such creative partnership between Tusk Tale Films and Josy Joseph’s company Confluence Media.
An unusual scandal in the healthcare sector has inspired ‘Phantom Hospital’.
“All of us have been victims of it unknowingly, and through this film we hope to wake up the audience to a new reality,” Shahani said.
Priti Shahani, founder and CEO of Tusk Tale Films said about her new content house and collaborating with Mahesh Narayanan and Josy Joseph: “I am excited to partner with Mahesh Narayanan, whose stories have travelled to a nationwide audience and is truly a visionary filmmaker and India’s finest investigative journalist Josy Joseph.”
She added: “Together we aim to make an entertaining film that uncovers one of the most shocking scandals in our country.”
Josy Joseph, founder of Confluence Media, said: “The strange thing about India is that it’s real stories are far more dramatic than any that a writer can imagine up, but those have not been harnessed enough for visual storytelling.”
Joseph is confident that ‘Phantom Hospital’ will be a pathbreaking movie that will showcase Narayanan’s mastery over the craft and Shahani’s capability to see through challenging projects.
The story and screenplay of ‘Phantom’ Hospital is written by Akash Mohimen and Narayanan.

Salman Khan’s security once again breached, woman enters actor’s building

Mumbai, May 22: Bollywood superstar Salman Khan’s security cover has been breached once again. In a recent incident, a woman, Isha Chhabra, 32, entered the lift area of the superstar’s residence.
However, before she could make her way to the actor’s core residential area, she was intercepted by the security vehicle at Khan’s Galaxy apartment in the Bandra area of Mumbai on Thursday.
Security guards at the Galaxy Apartment nabbed the woman and handed her to the Bandra police, based on the complaint of the security guard, the Bandra police have registered a case against the woman and are investigating the case further.
This comes in the wake of heightened security around the actor owing to threats by the jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi. The actor has been on the radar of Bishnoi, who wants to avenge the alleged hunting of the black buck by the superstar in the 1990s.
Last year, two men on a bike fired multiple shots outside the actor’s residence Galaxy Apartments in the Bandra area of Mumbai. The investigation later revealed that the shooting was aimed at intimidating the actor and was carried out on the instructions of Lawrence Bishnoi. The Bishnoi community considers blackbucks to be sacred, and the actor’s alleged involvement has enraged the gangster, who has revenge on his mind.
Bishnoi, who gained national attention after the murder of Punjabi star Sidhu Moose Wala in 2022, has openly given threats to Salman for his alleged involvement in the black buck hunting case during the shoot of ‘Hum Saath – Saath Hain’.
This year on Eid, the superstar also greeted his fans from behind the bullet-proof installed in his balcony. The actor also spoke with the media earlier this year, and agreed that on some days moving with security does become a problem for him.
The actor also said that he is not afraid of the threats, and has left it to God to look after him and safety.
