Mumbai based AZURE Entertainment Pvt. Limited and Warner Bros. India announced a strategic collaboration to jointly invest in and produce the Indian remake of “Infernal Affairs”. The 2002 Hong Kong Original is a cult film with global recognition. It’s the film upon which the multi-award-winning The Departed (directed by Martin Scorsese in 2006) was based.
Sunir Kheterpal, CEO – AZURE Entertainment says:
“It is a matter of pride for a young company like ours to collaborate with Warner Bros. to jointly develop and produce the local language adaptation of this amazing movie. We are thrilled to be working with the Warner Bros. India team and cannot wait to get started.”
Denzil Dias, Managing Director – Warner Bros. India said:
“This is an exciting time for us to be partnering in local language production with the team at AZURE, who are passionate about film and storytelling, and ideally placed to adapt and develop foreign language source material into Indian language remakes. We could not have chosen a better title than Infernal Affairs to announce this collaboration. We look forward to bringing great new Indian language films to local and global audiences.”
