    YRF to produce Shekhar Kapur’s Paani

    MUMBAI: Yash Raj Films (YRF) has joined hands with Shekhar Kapur to produce his ambitious project Paani.

    Talking about his association with YRF, Kapur said, "I have been preparing for this film for a long time, but always wanted an Indian partner that has the same passion for the film as I do. I have finally found one in Adi. It‘s a huge production that demands futuristic sets and large action pieces. In Yash Raj Films, I have found a perfect home for Paani."

    The film is based in a future world where wars over water have broken out. Water is now owned by International Corporations that use thirst as a weapon of control. In one such futuristic city, a young love story breaks all the rules and in the ensuing war, water flows back to its people.

    The film will have a strong Indian and Western star cast, headed by a young actor from India and a young actress from the West.

    The film, produced by Aditya Chopra and directed by Shekhar Kapur, will be shot in India and overseas.

    Paani goes on floor mid-2013.

    MUMBAI: After getting worldwide acclaim for The Slumdog Millionaire, director Danny Boyle has decided to turn producer for Shekhar Kapur‘s next project Paani starring Hrithik Roshan.
    Though the project was formally announced at the 63rd Cannes International Film Festival in 2010, Kapur now confirmed that he will start shooting his ambitious film in April next year.
    “Right now, I am doing the organisation-related work before I start actual filming in April next year,” said Kapur in confirmation.
    The film is broadly based on the global water crisis but Kapur has also woven an unusual love story into the narrative.
    Kapur is the man behind films like Masoom, Mr India and Bandit Queen.
