Film details
'The story follows a group of robbers...'
Gandhi told Bollywood Hungama, "Rajesh Krishnan is directing it. Hrithik and his cousin Eshaan Roshan's HRx is producing it for Amazon as an original film." "The story follows a group of robbers who, upon invading the house of a man with OCD, realize that it's not the family but they themselves who must survive a night-long standoff with this unpredictable man with extreme OCD."
Actor's approach
'I don't want to sympathize with the character...'
Gandhi further elaborated on his approach to the role, saying, "My journey is a constant process of learning, and all these characters add immense value to me as a person and as an actor." "I don't want to sympathize with the character, I want to empathize with him and create a human story rooted in emotions, one that is open to interpretation." "I've been able to explore varied genres and unique characters in all the films I've done."
Gratitude
'They've given me opportunities to push myself...'
Gandhi also expressed, "I am truly happy and grateful to all the directors and producers I've worked with so far for not putting me in a bracket." "They've given me opportunities to push myself, explore, and showcase a wide range of emotions and characters to the audience. My heart is full of gratitude." Meanwhile, Prime Video released the first look at Mess on Thursday.
