Percept Picture Company has announced its most ambitious and significant film JOHNNY WALKER, featuring Amitabh Bachchan as its lead protagonist.
A relationship drama to be directed by Shoojit Sircar [YAHAAN], the script has been created and written by the in house team at P.P.C. and finally shaped by Renzil D’Silva, the writer of RANG DE BASANTI. In the script, the focal point of the film is Bachchan himself.
Says Sircar, “JOHNNY WALKER is a love story that begins where most other love stories end. It’s a film about love, regret and hope. Most of all it is a film about second chances.”
Bachchan sounds equally excited about JOHNNY WALKER, “I feel, JOHNNY WALKER has the potential to cut across global audiences. The final logistics are being worked on for the production of this film. A.B. Corp is also looking at the possibility of doing a joint venture with P.P.C. for this film.”
Adds Shailendra Singh, Jt. MD, Percept Holdings, “JOHNNY WALKER has the required emotion and drama where language will not be a barrier. We truly believe that JOHNNY WALKER is India’s first cinema offering to the global entertainment consumer.”
