Anubhav Sinha to produce Paul Schrader’s film ‘Extreme City’
 

Mumbai: Filmmaker Anubhav Sinha is going to produce the American screenwriter and film director Paul Schrader’s next film titled ‘Extreme City’, which will be shot in and around the slums of Dharavi.

Speaking about this venture, producer Anubhav Sinha said, “I can’t deny there’s tremendous interest in another Mumbai slum saga after ‘Slumdog Millionaire’. But our project was firmed in much before Danny’s film released.”

Danny Boyle had earlier shown the dark and passionate look at Mumbai in ‘Slumdog Millionaire’, now its American super-director Paul Schrader’s turn to do a hardcore Mumbai film and this one for an Indian producer Anubhav Sinha.

It is believed to be the biggest collaboration ever between Bollywood and Hollywood. American writer-director Paul Schrader came to Mumbai in July and met up with producer-director Anubhav Sinha for a Mumbai-based underworld drama called Extreme City.

Mumbai already much under global scrutiny after Danny Boyle’s Slumdog Millionaire is expected to get a further touristic boost with Schrader’s Mumbai film with Sinha.

Anubhav further said, “To have Schrader agree to make a film for me is a dream come true. Paul came down to India first in July. When I suggested he make a film for me he was surprised. Paul Schrader making a film for an Indian producer does sound strange, doesn't it? He didn't give an immediate answer. But at the Toronto Film Festival in October 2008 he finally agreed. He’s writing and directing a drama-thriller tentatively titled ‘Extreme City’ for me. We've otherwise been interacting for two years.”

‘Extreme City’ will be shot largely in Mumbai. He informed, “Paul has started work on the script. It’ll be an English-language film. But the Indian characters will speak their natural language. The Mumbai underworld is familiar to Hindi film- goers but not to a global audience.”
