 Here’s comes an exciting movement for Indian cinema world... The
forthcoming Kangana Ranaut and Irrfan Khan starrer ‘Divine Lovers’ has
officially qualified as a French film following a green light from the
French Film Commission. The commissioner, Franck Priot, has become a
mentor for the film and for the director Sai Kabir himself. What this
means for the film is that ‘Divine Lovers’ will receive a mainstream
cinema release in France, a very rare occurrence. Both Irrfan and
Kangana are also overwhelmed and excited by this special news.
Kangana who last shot in Paris for
‘Queen’, couldn't be more excited with the association given that she is
also known and recognized in the Fashion capital as a style icon. She
said, "Divine Lovers will receive a mainstream cinema release in
France.It will be India's answer to edgy, love stories that world-cinema
viewers enjoy". Whereas both Sai Kabir and Franck Priot are looking
forward to this Indo French technical exchange, especially when the post
production stage happens in France. The film will be every bit the
great Indian Dream.
Said director Sai Kabir, "Franck Priot
has truly been a mentor both to me and the film Divine Lovers. The
French Film Commission has helped us build this into a Indo -French co
production".
While Franck Priot stated, "It is
exciting for us at the Film France to have young talents like Kabir Sai,
from the new generation of Indian directors, willing to work with
France and French talents in order to have their movies reaching out to
wider audiences outside of India. And his impressive knowledge of French
cinema for sure will help him to find common grounds and references
with us. With its reality-grounded style, Divine Lovers has a potential
appeal to European audiences, even if they don't know the Bollywood
conventions".
