Actor Randeep Hooda is set to reunite with acclaimed director Sam Hargrave for the highly anticipated action thriller Matchbox, produced by Apple Original Films. This marks their second collaboration after the massive success of Extraction (2020), the hit Netflix film that brought the duo together and received worldwide recognition.
Matchbox is a live-action film inspired by Mattel's iconic toy vehicle line, Matchbox cars. The film will see Randeep Hooda share the screen with global stars like John Cena, Teyonah Parris, Jessica Biel, and Sam Richardson. Currently being filmed in Budapest, the movie promises to deliver high-octane action and thrilling drama. The film is directed by Sam Hargrave, who is known for his work on Avengers: Endgame and Extraction 2, while the screenplay is penned by David Coggeshall and Jonathan Tropper.
The story follows a group of childhood friends who must come together to prevent a global disaster, all while rediscovering the deep bond they once shared. Matchbox draws inspiration from the popular Matchbox toy cars, which were first created in 1953 by Jack Odell. The story’s connection to the toy line, which now sells two cars every second worldwide, adds a layer of nostalgia and excitement for fans. With Hargrave's signature action-packed direction and a stellar cast, Matchbox is shaping up to be a thrilling ride.
Randeep Hooda, meanwhile, is also busy with several exciting projects. He is currently filming Jaat, a romantic survival drama, and is also attached to Arjun Ustara. With such a diverse range of roles ahead, Hooda is definitely carving out a unique space for himself in both Bollywood and international cinema.
Fans are eagerly awaiting Matchbox, which promises to be another hit in the action genre, combining heart-pounding thrills with emotional depth, thanks to its talented cast and crew.
