India's Yash Raj Films has struck a multi picture deal with IMAX to give the large screen treatment to a slate of upcoming features.
YRF has previously committed to scaling up its now in production action thriller Dhoom: 3. Under the expanded partnership, Shekhar Kapur's upcoming Paani will also be given the IMAX treatment.
Paani is Kapur's long planned futuristic tale of a city in which water is the most precious commodity. The film is expected to have a strong Indian and Western star cast, headed by a young leading actor from India and a young leading actress from the west.
"As we continue to grow our network across India, we are committed to offering the nation's growing IMAX fan base an elevated movie-going experience that transports them into Bollywood's best," said IMAX Filmed Entertainment president Greg Foster in a statement.
Speaking at the FICCI-Frames convention in Mumbai today, Foster said that IMAX expects to have 10 operational theatres in India by the end of this year. He added that that number could grow to 30-40 within two further years.
"Since announcing the IMAX release of Dhoom:3, we've seen tremendous anticipation building among Indian moviegoers around this first-ever IMAX release of a Hindi feature film, and we're excited to add to this excitement with two more of our highly anticipated films, including our most ambitious one, Paani," said Aditya Chopra, chairman.
Paani will be digitally re-mastered into the image and sound quality of The IMAX Experience with proprietary IMAX DMR (Digital Re-mastering) technology for presentation in IMAX theatres.
