Eros to release Drona worldwide on 2 October
MUMBAI: Eros International will release Drona in cinemas across UK and worldwide on 2 October.
Directed by Goldie Behl and produced by Eros International and Rose Movies, Drona features Abhishek Bachchan and Priyanka Chopra.
The movie will see many special effects shots that are executed by EyeQube Studios, headed by Charles Darby whose credits include Titanic, The Matrix, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, The Fifth Element and Minority Report.
Commenting on the release of Drona, Eros International India president Sunil Lulla said, “Eros International is immensely proud to release a film of Drona‘s calibre to a worldwide audience and one that has given Eros the opportunity to further push the filmic boundaries of Indian cinema and explore new territories with our unparalleled collective imagination.”
Inspired by Indian mythology and translated to the modern day, Drona is a tale of one man‘s journey through myths and legendary legacies. The lead protagonist, ‘Drona‘ (Abhishek Bachchan), takes a voyage that forces him to confront his fears and to become the hero he was destined to be.
“Drona is one of the biggest budget films to emerge from India and unequivocally the technical best. With this film, we have once again taken the decision to plunge into ever deeper creative depths and to treat our audiences to innovative and original film content,” added Lulla.
