The production company Matchbox Shots, which is known for films such as Andhadhun, Monica O My Darling, and Scoop, which was coached by Sriram Raghavan, has obtained the rights to the compelling book Who Killed Moosewala? The Spiralling Story Of Violence In Punjab, written by Jupinderjit Singh, a deputy editor of The Tribune in Chandigarh and a crime reporter. This literary gem offers a terrifying narrative of crime, celebrity, and tragedy in the life of Shubhdeep Singh Sidhu, better known as Sidhu Moosewala. It also peels back the layers of the mysterious Punjabi music industry.
Formerly Shubhdeep Singh Sidhu, Sidhu Moosewala became a well-known personality in the international Punjabi music industry by becoming an artist whose themes and lyrics spoke to a young audience throughout the world. His work explored difficult, unvarnished subjects and was not without controversy, giving him a platform for many. He sadly lost his popularity, though, and Who Killed Moosewala? looks for the real reason behind this startling incident.
According to Jupinderjit Singh, “several production firms expressed interest in the novel as soon as it was published. The kind of work that Matchbox Shots is putting out really pleased me, and I’m happy that they’ve acquired the rights to the book so they may expand on it.
In her viewpoint on the project, Matchbox Shots’ Sarita Patil emphasised the link between Punjab’s gang battles and the music business. “We have always found it extremely intriguing the macabre relationship between the music industry and gang wars in Punjab,” the speaker said. We are confident that Jupinderjit’s Who Killed Moosewala? provides a solid foundation for our narrative.”
The project, headed by Matchbox Shots’ Dikssha Jyote Routray, aims to be more than just a film or television show; rather, it will serve as a monument to the intricacy of human existence and the forces that mould the planet. According to Dikssha Jyote Routray, “the story is an intricate interplay of crime, fame, and music in Punjab, a narrative that demands contemplation and understanding.”
