The shooting of actor Riz Ahmed's film with director Aneil Karia has been wrapped up. It is a modern day adaptation of William Shakespeare's Hamlet.

In the film, Riz will play the role of Hamlet who is haunted by his father's ghost and wants to avenge his father's murder. The film is written by Michael Lesslie and be backed by Riz and Allie Moore under his banner Left-Handed Films, Michael Lesslie’s Storyteller Films and Jim Wilson.

Apart from Riz, the film also stars Morfydd Clark, and Joe Alywn.

“This is a Hamlet about race, mental health and inequality, which asks if setting things right means setting fire to the old order. Our Hamlet is an outsider in a wealthy British Indian family, who starts to question his relatives’ morality and his own sanity after encountering his father’s ghost. Hamlet’s bloody quest for revenge against his father’s killer will be told with a boldness and urgency that grabs hold of audiences and won’t let go," Riz and Aneil said in a statement.
