Jamie Foxx to Lead Nikhil Bhat’s Hostage Thriller Deadlocked
The Story in Brief
Jamie Foxx will headline and produce Deadlocked, a hostage thriller directed by Nikhil Bhat, known for the Hindi action film Kill. The screenplay is by Eric Scot Anderson and Matt Takejiro Bosack. The film follows a grieving former US Marine who is forced to return to his old ways after a woman takes control of a courthouse. Her father is the defendant in a major trial.
Foxx’s daughter Corinne will executive produce. Foxxhole Productions, Range and C2 are backing the film, which Amazon MGM Studios will distribute. Foxx was last seen in Back in Action. Bhat’s other films include Apurva.
The Indian Opinion
The project brings together a prominent American actor and an Indian director with a growing action-film profile. However, details about production schedules, filming locations and the wider cast remain unavailable. Early descriptions of high-stakes thrillers can encourage exaggerated expectations, so the film’s eventual execution will matter more than its premise. Its international backing could give Bhat a wider audience, but no conclusions about its success can yet be drawn.
