AZURE Entertainment Pvt. Limited and Warner Bros. India have announced a strategic collaboration to jointly invest in and produce an Indian remake of “Infernal Affairs”. The 2002 Hong Kong Original is a cult film with global recognition and was the film upon which the multi award-winning The Departed (directed by Martin Scorsese in 2006) was based. This project is the first of a two-picture deal between the two companies to jointly develop, produce and distribute key titles from the coveted Warner Bros. library for the Indian local film market.
“This is an exciting time for us to be partnering in local language production with the team at AZURE, who are passionate about film and storytelling, and ideally placed to adapt and develop foreign language source material into Indian language remakes. We could not have chosen a better title than “Infernal Affairs” to announce this collaboration. We look forward to bringing great new Indian language films to local and global audiences.” Denzil Dias, Managing Director – Warner Bros. India commented.
