Warrior
Lionsgate, a leading global entertainment company has tied up with Endemol India, operating under the banner of Eyedentity Motion Pictures to co-produce the sports drama Warrior in Hindi, the two companies announced today. The film inspired by Lionsgate’s critically-acclaimed 2011 North American film by the same name, will be the first film that is being jointly produced by the two companies in India. Warrior tells the story of two estranged brothers and deals with their struggling relationship with each other and their father. The film will be adapted for Indian audiences and re-written for Indian tastes. Its focus on contact sports will be integral to the storyline and will position the film in question as one of the few sports dramas made in India. The original American film was hailed by critics as “an instant classic that manages to surpass even the original Rocky in terms of effectiveness.” “Lionsgate is committed to identifying opportunities to produce and deliver motion pictures, television programming and other premium content to one of the largest and fastest-growing markets in the world.” said Lionsgate President of Worldwide Television & Digital Distribution Jim Packer. “We are pleased to partner with Lionsgate in their initial film venture in India by co-producing Warrior,” said Deepak Dhar, Chief Executive Officer of Endemol India. “Action-filled and emotionally powerful with themes of forgiveness and the enduring bonds of family, Warrior will be a quality film made with top-of-the-line production values that we believe will strike a responsive chord with Indian audiences,” Dhar added. Both the production houses are currently finalising the cast of the film that is scheduled to go on the floors in December 2014.
