India's largest media company, The Times of India Group, has moved into film production, backing English language feature Being Cyrus.
Directed and co-written by Homi Adajania, the film is billed as a cross between a psychological drama and a comedy in which a dope smoking retired sculptor, who lives in a secluded Indian hill station, opens his house to a stranger, Cyrus.
The film stars Saif Ali Khan, Naseeruddin Shah, Dimple Kapadia and Honey Chhaya and is edited by Jon Harris (Snatch, Layer Cake).
The film is produced by Miracle Cinefilms and Serendipity Films for the Times of India Group.
Vineet Jain, managing director of The Times Group, commented: "We made this film especially to cater to European, North American, and Japanese audiences and it is in the genre of world cinema on the lines of Amores Perros. The film's uniqueness lies in the originality of the story that could well have been produced in Spain or Italy, for that matter, even Sicily. And its novelty is the Parsi family backdrop and the distinctive look of the film"
The Times Group's business activities span publishing, film entertainment, radio, television, events, music publishing, retail, internet and multimedia. It publishes India's largest daily newspapers The Times of India and Economic Times.
