New Delhi: In a development which marks the advent of one of the major film projects for year 2007, Percept Picture Company (PPC) announces it's most ambitious and significant film Johnny Walker featuring Amitabh Bachchan as its lead protagonist.
A relationship drama to be directed by promising filmmaker Shoojit Sircar, the film is based on an engaging script meticulously developed for Bachchan by some of the best professionals in the business.
Johnny Walker is a script that has been created and written by the in-house team at PPC and finally shaped by Renzil D'Silva, the writer of Rang De Basanti. In the script the focal point of the film is Bachchan himself.
PPC’s creative team has been involved from the concept level to the development of the narrative.
The film is premised in some fundamental human relationships and makes for one of the most touching climaxes seen in Indian cinema.
“Johnny Walker is a love story that begins where most other love stories end. It is a film about love, regret and hope. Most of all it is a film about second chances,” Director Shoojit Sircar says.
Johnny Walker marks the coming together of Amitabh Bachchan and PPC, one of the fastest growing entertainment brands in India.
"I am very excited to be a part of the film Johnny Walker and I am looking forward to working with PPC. I feel that "Johnny Walker" has the potential to cut across global audiences. The final logistics are being worked on for the production of this film. AB Corp is also looking at the possibility of doing a joint venture with PPC for this film," says Bachchan.
Joint Managing Director, Percept Holdings, Shailendra Singh, says, “For us at Percept Picture Company Johnny Walker is going to be the pride of Indian cinema. It has the required emotion and drama where language will not be a barrier. We truly believe that Johnny Walker is India's first cinema offering to the global entertainment consumer. We at PPC will be putting in all our resources to make this initiative a success !”
