Eros partners PKP for Tamil film
MUMBAI: Eros International Media (EIML), the pure play film entertainment company, has entered into a co-production deal with Photon Kathaas Productions (PKP) for a Tamil film.
The action thriller film, titled Yohan: Adhyayam Ondru, will have Vijay in the lead role.
Produced in association with Future Film Production (UK production), the film will be directed by Gautham Menon and is likely to go on the floors in the second quarter of 2012.
Yohan centers on a character that will be featured in a series of films (prequels and sequels). The film will be shot in international locations, predominantly in the United Kingdom with the active support of the UK government.
Eros International Media MD Sunil Lulla said, “Eros continues to make advances in the regional film markets and we are happy to associate with PKP and further expand our south repertoire. Yohan: Adhyayam Ondru promises to be one of its kind action thrillers by the very talented Gautham Menon.”
Menon added, “I am really looking forward to filming an all-out action film after Vettaiyadu Villaiyadu. Also interesting because I will be working with Vijay for the first time. Yohan will be made like an international film while still retaining all the elements, especially music, that makes Indian cinema work.”
