    Satish Kaushik’s last film Mirg is now streaming on Jio Cinema

    Mumbai: Veteran actor late Satish Kaushik’s last film is now streaming on Jio Cinema following its successful theatrical release.  The film stars actors like Raj Babbar, Anup Soni and Shwetaabh Singh in pivotal roles, each bringing powerful performances to this gripping story. Satish Kaushik’s fans who have missed the theatrical run can now turn into Jio Cinema to watch Mirg and savour one of his final performances.

    Mirg is a captivating thriller that defies genre conventions and takes audiences on an unforgettable journey through the mystical forests of Himachal Pradesh.

    Director Tarun Sharma shared his vision for the film: “Mirg is more than just a thriller; it’s a journey of self-discovery and a challenge to the status quo. It’s a genre-bending movie that seamlessly blends action, suspense, comedy and folklore, creating a world where myth and reality collide, offering a truly unique viewing experience”.

    But why the name Mirg? Pat came the answer from Director Tarun Sharma, “We were fascinated by the rich folklore surrounding the snow leopard in Himachal Pradesh; by incorporating the legend of the ‘Mirg’ into our film, we wanted to explore the power of myth and its impact on human behaviour.”

    Producer Rishi Anand added, “From the moment I read Tarun Sharma’s script, I knew ‘Mirg’ was special. Producing it independently allowed us to stay true to his bold vision and create something refreshingly different for OTT and Cinemas. If you’re looking for a movie that will keep you on the edge of your seat, ‘Mirg’ is it. It’s a genre-bending thriller that blends humour, grit, darkness, and light with a powerful message. Satish ji, Raj ji, and Anup ji bring their A-game, and the action is non-stop. Head over to JioCinema now and experience the thrill for yourself!”

    Mirg follows Anil (Shwetaabh Singh), a young man bound by obedience, whose world is upended by a shocking event. Seeking vengeance, he ventures into the treacherous mountains, where he encounters the legend of the ‘Mirg,’ a mystical snow leopard tied to local folklore. As Anil’s quest for justice intersects with the myth, he must confront both his enemies and the darkness within himself, culminating in a gripping climax. With its compelling performances and a narrative that defies norms, Mirg is a must-watch for thriller enthusiasts.
