Filmmaker Anand Gandhi unveiled the poster of his next project, Emergence, on the seventh anniversary of his film Ship Of Theseus on Sunday.
While it is based on the current times, Emergence sheds some light on life in the post-pandemic world.
Talking about the project, Anand said: “In ‘Ship of Theseus’, the character Charvaka says, ‘The fungus enters an ant’s body through its respiration. It invades its brain and changes how it perceives smell because ants do everything they do from their smell of pheromones, right? So this microscopic little fungal spore then makes the ant climb up the stem of a plant and bite hard on a leaf, with an abnormal force’.
