Studio 18 is taking Strides

After taking giant steps as distributor [WELCOME, SINGH IS KINNG, KIDNAP, GOLMAAL RETURNS and GHAJINI] and baby steps as co-producers [LITTLE ZIZOU and DIL KABADDI], The Indian Film Company and Studio 18 are ready to take gigantic steps in film production too.

The company has already tied up with Abbas-Mustan [to remake THE ITALIAN JOB; the rights have been officially bought from the foreign studio], David Dhawan, Anees Bazmee, Priyadarshan and Sanjay Gadhvi [7 DAYS IN PARIS]. Besides, there's a co-production with Gurinder Chadha [IT'S A WONDERFUL AFTERLIFE] and Dev Benegal [ROAD, MOVIE; international sales agent Fortissimo Films has acquired the global distribution rights of the film] as well.

There's an interesting line up for distribution too, starting with LIFE PARTNER [Abbas-Mustan], SHORTCUT [Anil Kapoor], LUCK [Shree Ashtavinayak] and Arshad Warsi's home-production. So expect a lot of action from July onwards from this corporate entity.
