A mega collaboration is taking shape around an Indian short film that has already drawn international attention. Filmmakers Shoojit Sircar and Vikramaditya Motwane have come on board to present Thursday Special, the short film by National Award-winning filmmaker Varun Tandon. It won the Most Poetic Film Award, an honour personally chosen by Emir Kusturica at the Küstendorf Film Festival 2025.

Billed as a tender exploration of love, companionship, and change, Thursday Special is headlined by seasoned actors Anubha Fatehpuria and Ramakanth Dayama. The film will be released on January 29 on the Humans of Cinema channel on YouTube.
