Cinema that pays homage to everything that came before it is always enduring because it creates a cultural moment, regardless of whether the project turns out to be good or bad. When modern filmmakers decide to adapt classic stories told decades ago and give them a contemporary flavor, the idea is indeed risky but much needed. One such show that has managed to find an audience in the last year is Django, a story of a complex man that has resonated with a wide fanbase. However, if you aren't aware, it is actually an adaptation of a 1966 Spaghetti Western film of the same name, and it walks on a path that is highly revered. The show is now all set to be released in India, and below is everything you should know about it.

Django On OTT

Released in 2022 and still running, Django stars Matthias Schoenaerts, Nicholas Pinnock, Lisa Vicari, Naomi Rapace, and an ensemble cast that has been applauded worldwide. The show soon became widely popular through word of mouth, with fans in every corner of the world. It is now all set to get its Indian premiere on Lionsgate Play, and the day is not as far off as you might think. Read on to know everything you should about it.

Matthias Schoenaerts on Django

Talking to Radio Times about doing the show, Matthias Schoenaerts, who plays the lead, said, “They wanted to take this iconic genre but bring it to the here and now and infuse it with fresh angles. We're not going to reinvent anything—reinvention is too big of a word, I think. But you can just infuse it with actual themes and things that are very much on the forefront now."
