In a development, which marks the advent of one of the major film projects for year 2007, Percept Picture Company has announced it's most ambitious and significant film 'Johnny Walker', featuring Amitabh Bachchan as its lead protagonist.
A relationship drama to be directed by promising filmmaker Shoojit Sircar, the film is based on an engaging script meticulously developed for Bachchan by some of the best professionals in the business.
'Johnny Walker' is a script that has been created and written by the inhouse team at PPC and finally shaped by Renzil D'Silva, the writer of 'Rang De Basanti'. The film is premised in some fundamental human relationships and makes for one of the most touching climaxes seen in Indian cinema.
Director Shoojit Sircar says, "Johnny Walker' is a love story that begins where most other love stories end. It is a film about love, regret and hope. Most of all, it is a film about second chances."
Commenting on the development Bachchan offers, "I am very excited to be a part of the film 'Johnny Walker' and I am looking forward to working with Percept Picture Company (PPC). I feel that 'Johnny Walker' has the potential to cut across global audiences. The final logistics are being worked on for the production of this film. AB Corp is also looking at the possibility of doing a joint venture with PPC for this film."
