Johnny Depp’s latest motion picture Modi: Three Days on the Wings of Madness, has received a thrilling news.

The movie starring Riccardo Scamarcio and Al Pacino, is the first feature film Depp has directed since the 1997's The Brave and his second feature film as a director overall.

On the run from the police, Modi’s desire to end his career and leave the city is dismissed by fellow Bohemians. The chaos reaches a crescendo when he’s faced with a collector who could change his life."
