Carlos Bardem is getting into a little mischief…
The 61-year-old Spanish actor and writer will star opposite Konkona Sen Sharma in the comedy feature Mis(s)chief.
The project hails from U.K. and India-based production outfit Avani Films and is currently in development.
It has advanced to the second round at the 2025 Sundance Development Labs as a curated entry.
Mis(s)chief will follow a mother of two trying to succeed as a filmmaker while navigating a failing marriage, the odd bullet from a gangster she has unwittingly managed to annoy and the never-ending schedule of her children’s homework.
British filmmaker Peter Webber is on board as executive producer and Emmy-nominated casting director Nancy Bishop is assembling an international cast.
The film will be helmed by writer-director Anu Vaidyanathan, who noted, “Having witnessed life on both sides of the camera as an actor and a director, I am thrilled to have two legendary actors, Konkona and Carlos, to help me bring this story and these characters to life.”
Bardem, the brother of Javier Bardem, has previously starred in A pesar de todo, Assassin’s Creed and Che: Part Two.
