The Successors, stylised as the successors (Gaullican: les successeurs, Himavantan: Anugāmī'ō અનુગામીઓ) is a 2020 Ajahadya satiric black comedy, directed by Zebi Husan, written by Ikleen Behl and starring Keerat Naga, Ikmhan Jhutti, Ishya Savalia and Sanjog Rawala. The film depicts the end of the Great War in Ajahadya and the resulting power struggle between various factions leading up to the Ajahadyan Civil War. Depicting the events as a farce, the film has been controversial within Satria, and has been banned in Subarna for its portrayal of Muhammed Jahangir Sarkar, the first president of the country.
The film is notable for featuring large parts spoken in Gaullican, Himavantan and Estmerish, and smaller parts in Etrurian, Togot and Zubadi, making it one of the most multilingual films produced in Ajahadya. When asked for why she chose to structure the film with multiple languages, the director, Zebi Husan, said that "to have everyone speak one language would be to whitewash history. All the figures featured were polyglots, and what languages they did and did not share with one another were significant to how events unfolded according to records and memoirs and the unfolding farce of events. I also appreciated the irony of anti-colonial leaders being forced to use the languages of colonists to communicate in some specific cases."
