Last Man in Tower Hindi adaptation:
Rana Daggubati is cooking up something interesting yet again, and it’s got the film world buzzing. The actor-producer has announced the Hindi adaptation of Aravind Adiga’s Last Man in Tower, with none other than Manoj Bajpayee stepping into the lead. Ben Rekhi, known for his layered, soulful storytelling, is directing the project.
If you’ve read Adiga’s work, you know what you’re in for—sharp social commentary wrapped in deeply human stories. Last Man in Tower captures the uneasy balance of ambition and morality in a rapidly changing Mumbai, and honestly, it’s hard to imagine anyone better than Bajpayee to play a man caught in that storm. He has that knack for making everyday characters feel epic.
Rana Daggubati, who’s been quietly building a reputation for producing gutsy, genre-bending films, seems to have found a project that matches his taste for realism with cinematic flair. Word is, the film will start rolling early next year, and the rest of the cast is being kept tightly under wraps for now.
Between Adiga’s razor-sharp writing, Rekhi’s storytelling, and Bajpayee’s emotional depth, this one feels like it could hit hard—emotionally and socially. And with Daggubati steering the ship, there’s every reason to expect something honest, thought-provoking, and deeply cinematic.
Honestly? This is the kind of project Bollywood needs more of.
