There has been another partnership formed between Hollywood and Bollywood. Steven Saxton’s Hollywood Studios International has entered into a multi-picture deal with Carving Dreams Entertainment to co-produce films.
Carving Dreams Entertainment, besides being a first rate production company, is also responsible for the management and representation for some of Bollywood’s biggest stars. Including Kajol, Ajay Devgan, Hrithik Roshan, Bipasha Basu, Irrfan Khan, Isha Sharvani, Sikandar, to name a few.
CDE’s Co-Founder, Bunty Bahl, said that, “The deal will also offer us the opportunity to enhance our relationships with Hollywood talent agencies. We are looking forward to a wonderful partnership that will add a new dimension to our film industry.”
The plan for the multi-picture deal is that the companies will produce English films starring major Bollywood and Hollywood talent, with eventually more of the films being shot simultaneously in English and Hindi. There are projects currently in the planning stages that are set to film in India, the Middle East, and Europe.
“The Indian film industry is going through an explosive growth phase. This venture extends an amazing opportunity to produce great movies with a venerable partner and then to have those movies reach an extensive audience.
