The deal includes a trilogy where the first installment would be Paanch Kaurav (5-K). In fact the movie will be co-written by a Hollywood scriptwriter, Syd Field.
"We worked great together as a team on RDB and we look forward to our next productions," said Ronnie Screvwala, CEO of UTV. "We are all sitting at a very exciting time in motion picture history in India, thanks largely to changing, maturing and demanding tastes of audiences for our films.
"Today, the challenge is in making strong Indian themes for a pan-Indian and global audience," he continued, "and I think Rakeysh's sensibilities in this area, with help from a mature hand like Syd in structured screenplay, and our joint vision of taking Indian cinema to a new level of creativity and communication and to a growing diaspora for Indian content, will make this partnership over the next few years very rewarding and challenging."
