Dubai: Hollywood

has signed a multi-picture co-production deal with Carving Dreams
Entertainment whose clients include top Bollywood actors.

The deal which was
recently struck in Dubai, will see both companies mutually developing
and producing multiple films in English with major Bollywood stars
playing alongside Hollywood talent.

Projects currently
being developed will be filmed in India, the Middle East and Europe
serving as the Hollywood debut for many major Bollywood stars.

Carving Dreams clients include Kajol, Ajay Devgan, Hrithik Roshan, Bipashu Basu, Irfan Khan, Isha Sharvani and Sikandar.

New dimension

"This association
gives us the opportunity to not only create movies for global audiences
but also build a bridge between Hollywood and Bollywood," said Steven
Saxton, CEO Hollywood Studios International, which also has
headquarters in Los Angeles and other offices in New York and Miami.

Each project will be shot simultaneously in English and Hindi.

"The deal will also
offer us the opportunity to enhance our relationship with Hollywood
talent agencies," said Bunty Bahl, Carving Dreams Co-Founder. "We are
looking forward to a wonderful partnership that will add a new
dimension to our film industry."

The talent agency and entertainment company has its headquarters in Mumbai, India with offices in London and Dubai.

"The Indian film
industry is going through an explosive growth phase. This venture
extends an amazing opportunity to produce great movies with a venerable
partner and then to have those movies reach an extensive audience,"
said Saxton.

He said with the
unification of the skills and expertise of both companies in the fields
of marketing and distribution as well as artistic sensibilities, the
collaboration could lead to extremely exciting ventures.
