OK Computer trailer is right here. No, this isn’t the Radiohead album, although it is positive named after it. This is Ship of Theseus director Anand Gandhi’s subsequent undertaking. Disney+ Hotstar has unveiled a two-and-a-half-minute trailer for OK Computer, a sci-fi comedy Hotstar Specials sequence created and written by Gandhi, and starring the likes of Radhika Apte (Andhadhun), Vijay Varma (Gully Boy), Jackie Shroff (Criminal Justice), and Rasika Dugal (Mirzapur). OK Computer follows cyber cell agent Hari Kundu (Varma) who makes an attempt to resolve a pedestrian’s demise by a self-driving automobile. As the investigation unfurls, a robotic named Ajeeb leads to the crosshairs, elevating questions on Asimov’s Three Laws of Robotics, whether or not AI has turned on its creator, and if robots deserve the similar therapy as people.
In addition to Varma’s Hari Kundu, OK Computer stars Apte as Laksmi who leads a non-public organisation known as PETER for the moral therapy of robots, Shroff as a maniac who claims to be the “real murderer” in the OK Computer trailer, and Dugal as somebody who appears to have misplaced her marbles. Behind the scenes, Pooja Shetty (a former architect and designer) and writer-filmmaker Neil Pagedar — each of them are co-founders at Gandhi’s studio Memesys Culture Lab — function administrators on the six-episode Hotstar Specials sequence. OK Computer is a manufacturing of Memesys Culture Lab for Disney+ Hotstar.
“OK Computer is an attempt to imagine a world of our near-future together, and laugh out loud while we are at it,” Gandhi stated in a ready assertion. “The show asks one of the biggest questions of this century: if AI commits a crime, who should be culpable? It asks this question with madcap humour, zany characters, and a rollercoaster epic story. It’s been my privilege to offer unprecedented stories to Indian audiences. OK Computer, like my previous work, is a small step in a completely new direction. I hope it opens up the floodgates for science fiction entertainment in India.”
Here’s the official synopsis for OK Computer from Disney+ Hotstar:
The 12 months is 2031. On a quiet, smoggy evening in a quaint coastal city in North Goa, when a self-driving taxi crashes right into a human pedestrian, killing him instantaneously, a vexing query presents itself to the authorities: who’s in charge? Is it the CEO of the taxi firm? Or the supervising programmer on the evening shift? Or might it’s the automobile itself? While the legislation scrambles to determine culpability, cyber cell agent Hari Kundu (Vijay Varma) discovers that this was no accident, it was a premeditated homicide, solely to be counter questioned by the feisty Laksmi (Radhika Apte) who leads a non-public organisation for the moral therapy of robots PETER and firmly believes that AI just isn’t able to harming people.
OK Computer focuses on the battle between ideologies for and in opposition to know-how, and poses the bigger query of ‘Has AI which was created by people, and which people got here to rely on now stopped being a boon and has as a substitute begun to be annoying, overpowering, or dangerous?
OK Computer is out March 26 on Disney+ Hotstar VIP and Disney+ Hotstar Premium. It might be obtainable in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Bengali, Malayalam, Marathi, and Kannada.
