So far, the Hollywood biggies had sporadically handled mainstream Hindi
films like December 16 and some crossover movies like Monsoon Wedding,
Bend It Like Beckham and Bollywood Calling. But now, Fox is lining up Ek
Haseena Thi, a Ram Gopal Verma movie starring Saif Ali Khan and Urmila
Matondkar, and possibly a Ketan Mehta flick after Jhankar Beats. Fox
says it is serious about selling Indian commercial cinema. For Hollywood
majors, easier clearances by the Foreign Investment Promotion Board has
also helped. But they cite the coming of age of content in Indian cinema
as the main driver.
