‘Murder Mystery 2’

Synopsis

Four years after solving their first murder mystery (‘Murder Mystery’, 2019), Nick and Audrey Spitz (Adam Sandler, Jennifer Aniston) are now full-time detectives struggling to get their private eye agency off the ground when they’re invited to celebrate the wedding of their friend the Maharaja (Adeel Akhtar) on his private island. But trouble follows the Spitzes again when the groom is kidnapped for ransom soon after the festivities begin — making each glamorous guest, family member, and the bride herself a suspect.

The film is directed by Jeremy Garelick and also stars Mark Strong, Mélanie Laurent, Jodie Turner-Smith, Kuhoo Verma, John Kani and Dany Boon.

Making of this scene

About this project

In ‘Murder Mystery 2’, the crime is committed during the Maharajah’s wedding. Jeremy Garelick, director of ‘Murder Mystery 2’, wanted to make this scene a tribute to Bollywood movies. He commissionned Mahina Khanum and Avishai Leger-Tanger to create the choreography and the music. The song was composed by the Mumbai-based duet Avinash Chandrachud and Vishwajeet Joshi, under the direction of Avishai Leger-Tanger. It was then choreographed by Mahina Khanum. 70 dancers and 10 musicians were hired and trained by Mahina Khanum and Avishai Leger-Tanger to make up for the dancing guests.
