MUMBAI: Eagle Films has entered into a tripartite agreement with the Berlin-based production companies Advise Film and TV Production and the Austrian group Wega to co-produce a feature film tentatively titled Waltz on the Raga.
This agreement follows a long and positive interface between Umesh Mehra and Nils Vise, managing directors of Eagle Films and Advise respectively, at a location marketing event organised by the Film & Television Producers Guild of India at Mumbai in collaboration with Berlin Partner GMBH (coordinated by Mr. Kamal Roy, Director of the Berlin Asia Pacific Film Festival) in November 2008.
The letter of intent to co-produce the movie was formally endorsed by the respective managing directors of the two companies and Dr. Veit Heiduschka, their counterpart in Wega, at Vienna some days back.
Guild President Manmohan Shetty expressed his elation on the agreement which justifies the premier objective in organizing such events. Shetty stated that this agreement will undoubtedly herald a new chapter in co-production ventures between Guild members and prospective international producers.
Guild Secretary General Supran Sen expressed his pleasure at this tie-up and hoped that more such deals can be cracked in the future through enterprising initiatives undertaken by the Guild on the lines of the November event.
