Overview

• Aneil Karia directs the feature, reuniting with Ahmed after their 2020 short The Long Goodbye.
• The adaptation preserves Shakespeare’s language while relocating the story to present-day London.
• The film centers a wealthy British South Asian family in the capital.
• Ahmed says he leaned into the irritable, exhausted intensity of being a sleep-deprived new father to shape his performance.
• This version arrives alongside other current Hamlet projects, including Oscar Isaac’s King Hamlet, Chloé Zhao’s Hamnet, and Thom Yorke’s interpretive piece.
