Netflix, Sony Pictures Films India, as well as Ellipsis Entertainment have announced the release of Looop Lapeta, a comedy-thriller featuring Taapsee Pannu and Tahir Raj Bhasin. A race against the clock as well as a woman on a quest to save her sweetheart from such a sticky position, Looop Lapeta promises an exciting ride as even the narrative unfolds as well as the lovers’ actions set in motion a succession of lucky and terrible occurrences.
Looop Lapeta is indeed the Hindi-language adaptation of Tom Tykwer’s acclaimed cult classic Run Lola Run and Aakash Bhatia’s directorial feature debut, produced by Sony Pictures Films India, Ellipsis Entertainment, and Aayush Maheshwari. This movie features a captivating storyline and offbeat humour, making it the ideal entertainment that will capture viewers from the start.
“We are happy to be the home for Aakash Bhatia’s directorial feature debut, Looop Lapeta,” said Pratiksha Rao, Director, Films and Licensing, Netflix India. We aim to provide our members with the most enjoyable films possible, and Looop Lapeta is the ideal addition to our increasing film slate. This picture is absolutely unique because of Aakash’s unusual approach and style, which is combined with this rich tale, an uncommon premise, and outstanding performances by an ensemble cast.”
Sony Pictures Films India’s Managing Director, Vivek Krishnani, remarked, “Looop Lapeta brings together an exciting combination of comedy and thriller. We at Sony Pictures Films India are constantly looking for movies that can break boundaries and provide fresh entertainment to audiences. It has been an amazing collaboration with the director Aakash Bhatia and Ellipsis Entertainment to deliver a different and unique Indian take on the original cult classic, Run Lola Run. At Sony Pictures Films India we lay emphasis on working with new directors and talent who want to tell stories that are brave, different, entertaining and can cross over. The premiere of the film exclusively on Netflix will ensure that the film reaches a diverse global audience and will help us popularise Indian content across the world.”
Tanuj Garg and Atul Kasbekar, Managing Partners at Ellipsis Entertainment, said, “Looop Lapeta is yet another testimony to Ellipsis’ vision of consistently identifying and backing first-rate directorial and writing talent, and unconventional clutter-breaking content appealing to new-age audiences. When Aayush (Maheshwari) proposed the rights to us, we swung on to them immediately because we recognized the potential of crafting a quirky thriller-comedy that hasn’t been seen before in India. We are delighted to be launching Aakash (Bhatia) as director and for teaming up with Netflix and Sony Pictures Films India, which has enabled the creation of a truly masterful film, which we hope for the global audience to watch on loop.”
“There’s no way to diminish the adrenaline of producing the first picture, and Looop Lapeta has topped every bit of it,” director and writer Aakash Bhatia remarked. I’m quite pleased with the form we’ve given it. It bravely skips genres, from comedy to suspense to romance, and takes fans on a rollercoaster experience. My strategy has been to stay true to the emotional heart of our tale and characters while also experimenting with style and form. This project’s success is due to a strong ensemble cast and staff. On this first voyage, the creative collaborators Kasbekar and Tanuj made for fantastic producers. I’m overjoyed that the world will be able to view Looop Lapeta on Netflix.”
