“Last Man in Tower”, a film adaptation of Aravind Adiga’s novel, will be released in Indian cinemas on 11 September, with its first teaser now unveiled. Directed by Ben Rekhi and produced by Rana Daggubati’s Spirit Media, it is notable as Manoj Bajpayee and Boman Irani’s first film together and as Spirit Media’s first Hindi-language feature.

The drama follows a retired teacher, Masterji, whose refusal to accept a proposed change brings him into conflict with his community and exposes neighbours’ competing compromises. Divya Dutta and Sukant Goel also star; Sooni Taraporevala wrote the screenplay, Juhi Chaturvedi the Hindi dialogue, and Govind Vasantha composed the music.
