And six months into 2012, they’ve already delivered some of this year’s most talked about films, including Kahaani and Gangs of Wasseypur. Kahaani, made on a budget 11 crore, did exceptional business, GoW saw both box office success as well as international acclaim at the Cannes Film Festival.

The reason, says COO Vikram Malhotra, is “our understanding of the Indian audience. Our audience is geographically diverse, and our content is delivered accordingly — GoW is for a more urban audience while Kahaani cuts across all cities.

…and if you thought that it was only the ‘lucky’ Freida Pinto who’s cashing and bagging in all the big Hollywood films, then you better re-think because here’s why!

So what’s the first thing a journalist would do when he hears the ‘Breaking News’ coming all the way from Hollywood? We all know, don’t we? Well, I happened to text my dear friend Anil Kapoor. Read on!

Breaking News has just come in from the other side of the ocean that acclaimed director / writer Roger Donaldson (Hungry Rabbit Jumps, The Bank Job, The Recruit) has locked in his next directorial project titled Cities which will star Academy Award nominee and Golden Globe winner Clive Owen (Duplicity, Inside Man, Children Of Men, Closer) and our very own Anil Kapoor.

This is Anil Kapoor’s second big Hollywood film that he has bagged after getting famous in the West with his Oscar winning movie Slumdog Millionaire. Anil will soon be seen rubbing shoulders with Tom Cruise in Mission Impossible – Ghost Protocol and will also be filming the financial thriller, Cities, produced by Matthew Metcalfe (Dean Spanley, Love Birds) and Chris Curling (Hannibal Rising, The Last Station).

The film is set to roll come October 2011 in multiple cities that will include London, Mumbai and New York.
