Hot Hunk Rana is known for propelling riveting and gripping entertainers. He according to sources is planning to bankroll a film based on Booker Prize-winning author Aravind Adiga’s 2011 novel, Last Man in Tower.
Manoj Bajpayee has been roped in as the protagonist while Divya Dutta is playing an important role. The film will be helmed by Ben Reiki. Set in a Mumbai housing society, Last Man in Tower revolves around a teacher who refuses to sell his flat to a real estate developer when the building is under consideration for redevelopment. Through the story, Adiga explored themes of greed, ambition, and urban development.
A source shared “Divya’s antagonist isn’t one-note; she is shown as ruthless and calculative, but there is also vulnerability to her. This film thrives on tension between her and Manoj’s characters.”
The project is set to roll from the second half of 2026. The source adds “Constant redevelopment of residential properties that builders undertake for their profits is a reality of our times. The story is just as relevant today as it was in 2011.”
