Vishal Bhardwaj joined an illustrious list of international filmmakers such as Damien Chazelle and Park Chan-wook to direct a short film for Apple. Titled Fursat, the 30-minute Bollywood-style musical was shot with the iPhone 14 Pro, and was released on YouTube on Friday.

Apple has created a brilliant method to promote the features of its top-tier iPhones; the tech company often creates short films, which are helmed by renowned directors. These short films, which are all filmed using the most recent iPhone models, cover a range of genres and filmmaking techniques. And now, renowned Indian director Vishal Bhardwaj has joined a select group of distinguished filmmakers from around the world to create a short film for Apple.

The 30-minute Bollywood-style musical, titled Fursat, was recorded using the iPhone 14 Pro and made available on YouTube on Friday. The film has been described as “a magical story about a man so obsessed with controlling the future that he risks losing what he holds most precious in the present.”
