New Young Blood ,Roman Sen of "Fiery Tiger Production​s" announces his maiden Venture Film "Sanki''

Age is no bar when it comes to Bollywood. The last few years have seen a deluge of young talent hitting the screen. The latest in this trend is twenty-three year old Roman Sen, scion of the Katha group family, Roman Sen had launched his production house Fiery Tiger Productions with an aim to produce quality cinema with a commercial edge.

When contacted Roman stated candidly “We’ll be producing three films in a year which will be content-driven films but at the same time will have prominent names attached. My observation in Bollywood has been that sometimes content-driven films lose out on glamour quotient while some high-budget, star-driven films lose out on content. My endeavour will be to balance these two very necessary ingredients of cinema. Hence, I’ve positioned my production house as producers of content-driven cinema with high entertainment value and glamour quotient which according to me is a winning formula. My slate has three films in this financial year. I spent the last three months meeting directors and I finally zeroed in to writer-director Manish Gupta to helm my first venture - a suspense thriller titled ‘SANKI’. I chose Manish because I love his sense of crafting screenplay and dialogues. I loved his writing in ‘SARKAR’ and I was impressed with his direction in ‘THE STONEMAN MURDERS’.

When contacted, Manish sounded equally charged to join hands with Roman, “Roman like the name of his company suggests has fire in his belly! Hence his temperament matches with my own. His decision to support this film is laudable because it is a brave and bold film which will break all conventions of Indian cinema. In this film, the hero of the film is actually a villain and the villain is actually a hero. My job to make the audience fall in love with a villain is tough and it is indeed a brave decision on Roman’s part to back me”

-"Mika singh and Gabriela Bertante grooved on the shoot of the song of their Film "Balwinder Singh...Fa​mous Ho Gaya" in Goa.

Goa is the place we had chosen for the shoot of this song as it we explored and discovered the best virgin locations”

 Sunil Agnihotri first time brings two top singers of our country to grace the silver screen in his Film "Balwinder singh ...famous ho Gaya”
Justin Timberlake, Will smith, Jamie Foxx, mark Wahlberg, frank Sinatra, snoop dog etc have been successful singers and even more successful actors.
Having the talent of singing is a blessing in disguise for Bollywood as well, and it can open the doors of acting into the film industry. And if someone has a complementing look to his singing talents, then he/she stands a good chance to make it big in the acting forte as well.
The thought of interesting casting was crossing director Sunil Agnihotri's mind for a long time he decided to take up the musical way to get an entry ticket for Mika singh and Shaan first time together as co actors the most sought after singers of our country just fit the bill
Of course Shaan and Mika were skeptical but the script was brilliant and hilarious to the core which excited both of them For Shaan and Mika singh this will be the biggest cinematic accomplishment ,Sunil has brought both the singers together to act for the first time Both the singers of a great career and are one of a few singers and this transition from music to acting will be successful - and that success looks set to continue. - Famous Ho Gaya started...Music is the biggest asset along with the Script which is a complete entertainer.

Ang Lee's New Life Of Pi trailer Launched! Shows Irrfan Khan, Tabu for the 1st time in dazzling colors of India!

Oscar winner Ang Lee’s Life Of Pi Trailer starring Tabu, Irrfan Khan and Suraj Sharma Is Here! 

Potential Oscar contender and India-centric flick to be a festive treat this November 2012!

On 23^rd November 2012, movie lovers will witness an epic saga of survival and courage against all odds: Ang Lee’s Life Of Pi! And in anticipation of what is likely be one of the biggest movie event this year, the brand new trailer of the film has been launched showing a glimpse of the mystic magic to come!

The new theatrical promo of the Hollywood film showcases stunning scenes introducing veteran Indian talents Tabu and Irrfan Khan in the film along with breathtakingly vibrant colors of Pondicherry and Munnar where LOP was extensively shot. 

From the Oscar winning director (Brokeback Mountain, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon), Life of Pi 3D is the visually stunning tale of a boy who is adrift at sea in a lifeboat with a Bengal tiger after his family is drowned in a shipwreck. The Indian appeal of Ang Lee’s magnum opus is visible with every scene of the film right from the star cast to the locales and magical elements that combine to make this a special festive treat for fans!

A stunning kaleidoscope of India showcases Irrfan Khan as the older Pi Patel describing the events of the film in the trailer with beautiful 3D shots to the music of Coldplay!

India had much to rejoice when Ang Lee chose 17 year old newcomer Suraj Sharma to essay the role of Pi. Suraj lives with his Mathematician parents in Delhi. He has no previous acting experience and was cast following an extensive, months-long search. Over 3000 young men auditioned for the part.

Lee said it was the performance of young Indian actor Suraj Sharma, chosen from more than 3,000 hopefuls that ultimately inspired him to move forward with the technically challenging production -- even though Sharma couldn't swim when he was first cast.

"I met him, I tested him, and he held his breath for 20 seconds. So I got him a swimming coach, work-out coach -- every coach," the filmmaker said with a laugh. "He gives an emotional performance in a movie that has the look of a family film, but it's also a movie about big ideas. I hope people will spend weeks talking about it -- that's my idea of a family film."

Lee, whose many other honors include an Oscar nomination for his direction of“Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon,” and whose “Sense and Sensibility” was a Best Picture nominee, has shot ‘Life of Pi’in 3D, utilizing groundbreaking techniques to capture the story’s epic scope.

Life of Piis based on Yann Martel’s beloved book, one of the biggest publishing events of the past decade. The book has sold over seven million copies worldwide and continues to sell over 1,000 copies per week and has won the prestigious Mann Booker Prize, and was a New York Times bestseller for over a year.

Not only is the film a global platform of Indian talent with its cast and crew, but some of India’s most scenic spots were tapped for the film, a first of its kind for a Hollywood film.

Judging by this new trailer 'Life Of Pi' promises to be one festive movie treat for fans this year.

Life of Pi 3D releases on 23^rd November in English, Hindi, Tamil & Telugu!
