RAM GOPAL VARMA BLOWS UP

Ram Gopal Varma's ekRam Gopal Varma is hitting the big time, for shizzle. The Percept Picture Company, part of the Indian holding group, Percept Inc., has announced they'll be producing WITHIN, an international supernatural thriller shot in Manhattan, budgeted at about US$6 million, and director by Varma himself. It's slated to begin production in 2007. More info is here.

The Corporate Gobbeldygook Quote of the Day comes courtesy of Shailendra Singh of Percept Holdings:

"We have identified universality of Indian cinema and its extensions. Our vision combined with our high value network gives us an edge in recognising opportunities and exporting resources globally within the entertainment space."


Varma has this to say: ""I am sure these ventures spearheaded by Percept will result in a highly rewarding experience for all concerned." Try not to get too excited, Ramu!

Percept is also helping RGV get his long-delayed terrorism flick, EK, back on track. Budgeted at US$20 million this movie looks like it will star Amitabh and Abhishek Bachchan, Anil Kapoor, Sanjay Dutt, and pretty much every other star in Bollywood. That's the hard rockin' poster on the right.

Go, Ramu, this is how you get ahizzead!
