Woodpecker Films, the subsidiary of US-based PE Film Fund which is planning to remake seven Chinese hits in Hindi, is creating their own talent bank for the projects.
To begin with, Kanika Tiwari, who made her debut in Agneepath as Hrithik Roshan's kid sister, will be seen in a glamorous role in the Hindi remake of NG See Yuen's rom-com, HeYue Qing Ren (Contract Lover). In fact, Kanika has already signed a four-film contract with the production company.
So, are they refraining from big star productions? "Definitely not," says Rajesh Bhatia, the company's managing director. "If there is a character suitable for new talent, we sign them on.We have a division that builds them into brands. Just like actors have come up with their own production houses, we are creating our own actors. To look ahead, we also have to look at gen next," he adds.
