Shekhar Kapur and Yash Raj Films have joined hands to make Shekhar Kapur’s ambitious project, Paani.
Talking about this association, Shekhar Kapur said, “I have been preparing for this film for a long time, but always wanted an Indian partner that has the same passion for the film as I do and in Adi I have finally found that. It’s a huge production that demands futuristic sets and large action pieces. With Yash Raj Films, I have found a perfect home for Paani“.
The film is based in a future world where wars over water have broken out. Water is now owned by International Corporations who use thirst as a weapon of control. In one such future city, a young love story breaks all the rules and in the ensuing war, water flows back to its people. The film will have a strong Indian and Western star cast, headed by a young leading actor from India and a young leading actress from the west.
The film, Produced by Aditya Chopra and Directed by Shekhar Kapur, will be shot in India and overseas. Music is by A. R. Rahman.
Paani goes on floor mid-2013. Stay tuned we will be bringing you all the Paani news including who will be starring in this intriguing and exciting new project!
