Covering Bollywood and the Hindi Cinema

Nicholas Cage will be in India next year to shoot the highly anticipated movie “The Sadhu”. Written by Deepak Chopra and to be directed by Shekar Kapur, the movie is an adaptation of the comic book series. The film revolves around the English soldier James Jensen on the hunt in India for the man who murdered his family.

"Nick chose Shekhar to direct the film. The sadhu is an iconic character," said Gotham Chopra ahead of the launch of Virgin Comics in the subcontinent next week. "He is an Indian equivalent of the samurai. He is the spiritual warrior of the mind."

Cage got interested in the project after reading the comic last year. "We sat down and talked to him about India and sadhus," said Gotham Chopra. "The story is very much set here and everybody including Nick loves the idea of shooting it in India."
