Eros inks deal with Turkish company Pana Film

Eros International Media Ltd has announced two Indo-Turkish co-productions with one of the largest Turkish film studios, Pana Film, owned by leading Turkish actor Necati Şaşmaz.

With proposed A list actors from India and Turkey, including Necati Şaşmaz himself, both films will be collaborative with shoot venues and crews in both countries and will be made bilingual.

Original stories blending Indian and Turkish cultures will be conceptualised and developed by Eros’ in-house writers along with top Turkish writers.

Kishore Lulla, Chairman, Eros International said, “Following our pioneering Indo-China joint production initiatives, we continue to expand the scope of Indian films internationally with our exciting Turkish collaboration. With our similar cultures, we want to tell stories with a mainstream appeal that transcend language and geographical boundaries. We hope our Indo-Turkish productions will pave the way to open one of the significant regions in the world and reach out to fans across the two countries and the MENA (Middle East to North Africa) regions”.

Necati Şaşmaz added, “Pana Film greatly values this exciting partnership with Eros International. Our common goal is to build a cultural bridge between both regions. With our Indian collaboration, we aim to expand our presence and tell new stories that can bring Indian and Turkish audiences together.”
