Get Ready For The Indian Remake Of 'Infernal Affairs'

Director Martin Scorsese won several awards for his 2006 Leonardo DiCaprio and Matt Damon starrer The Departed, which was the Hollywood remake of 2002 Honk Kong cult crime-thriller Infernal Affairs and now, Mumbai-based Azure Entertainment Pvt Ltd and Warner Bros have joined hands for the Indian remake of the movie.

Sunir Kheterpal, CEO – AZURE Entertainment, says, “It is a matter of pride for a young company like ours to collaborate with Warner Bros. to jointly develop and produce the local language adaptation of this amazing movie. We are thrilled to be working with the Warner Bros. India team and cannot wait to get started.”

Denzil Dias, Managing Director, Warner Bros, India said, “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.”

The makers are in the process of finalising a director for the Hindi remake. This project is the first of a two-picture deal between the two companies.
