Robert De Niro's company will distribute Abhay Deol starrer Road, Movie in the US
Robert De Niro has decided to put his money where is heart is and has snapped up the Abhay Deol-Tannishtha Chatterjee-Satish Kaushik starrer Road, Movie, directed by Dev Benegal for mainstream distribution in the US.
His company, Tribeca Film, is owned by de Niro's Tribeca Enterprises. Incidentally, in downtown New York, De Niro also owns a restaurant by the name of Tribeca Grill.
In cash-strapped markets where even major American productions are struggling to find a US sale, Road, Movie, an independent Indian production, has made a breakthrough by impressing the rigid American trade. Road, Movie is no novice to fame though, having made it as the official selection at top international film festivals like Toronto, Tokyo, Doha, and Berlin. In Cannes 2009 it became the first Hindi-language film to be taken up by international sales giant, Fortissimo Films.
Tanuj Garg, Head of International Business at Studio 18, confirmed the news. Indian Films's CEO Sandeep Bhargava said, "Road, Movie has truly crossed over." Interestingly, Road, Movie will first have a video on demand launch in the US along with the Tribeca Film Festival and then expand to theatrical and home entertainment rights among others.
