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.
