Netflix wraps filming in India on Russo Brothers’ Dhaka

30th November 2019

Principal photography has completed in India on Dhaka, Netflix’s action-adventure feature film starring Chris Hemsworth (The Avengers, Thor: Ragnorak).

Sam Hargrave makes his directorial debut on the movie, which is written by Joe Russo and produced Anthony and Joe Russo under their AGBO Films banner, alongside Mike Larocca.

In an underworld of weapons dealers and traffickers, a young boy becomes the pawn in a war between notorious drug lords. Trapped by kidnappers inside one of the world’s most impenetrable cities, his rescue beckons the unparalleled skill of a mercenary named Tyler Rake. But Rake is a broken man with nothing to lose, harboring a death wish that makes an already deadly mission near impossible.

Hemworth stars as Drake and will be joined by David Harbour (Stranger Things, Hellboy), Golshifteh Farahani (Paterson, Body of Lies), Randeep Hooda (Highway, Kick, Sarbjit), Manoj Bajpayee (Gangs of Wasseypur, Aligarh, In the Shadows), Priyanshu Painyuli (Bhavesh Joshi Superhero, Once Again) and newcomer Rudhraksh Jaiswal.

“I’m honored to be working with a talent like Chris Hemsworth and to continue my collaboration with Joe and Anthony Russo, who have been great mentors of mine,” says Hargrave, who directed second unit on action blockbusters such as Avengers: Infinity War, Atomic Blonde and The Accountant. “We have a great cast in David Harbour plus Randeep Hooda and Manoj Bajpayee, two of the most respected actors on the Indian sub-continent, as well as the extremely talented Golshifteh Farahani. I’m also looking forward to introducing our young star Rudraksh Jaiswal, to audiences worldwide. Netflix has been a great partner in this process and we’re excited to make a film that hopefully speaks to a wide range of audiences – a gritty, character-driven action movie with a lot of heart.”

“India has provided incredibly beautiful backdrops that have added to the intricacies of our production,” add Anthony Russo and Joe Russo. “The crews, production facilities and cast have been an absolute pleasure to work with.”

Filming took place in Ahmedabad and Mumbai and will now move to Bangkok and Phuket, Thailand. Production is set to wrap in late February.
