According to reports, Eros International Media Ltd (Eros International) has acquired the worldwide rights of Zoya Akhtar’s ‘Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara’ and Abhinay Deo’s ‘Game’. Bannered under Excel Entertainment, both the highly anticipated films are scheduled for release in 2011.

With ‘Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara’ a road film, director Zoya Akhtar has achieved a casting coup of Hrithik Roshan, Farhan Akhtar, Abhay Deol, Katrina Kaif and Kalki Koechlin. A young fun film shot largely across Spain, the film has already been creating a huge buzz and is expected to wow audiences next year.

‘Game’, a whodunit with twists and turns stars Abhishek Bachchan, Kangana Ranaut, Sarah Jane Dias, Jimmy Shergill, Shahana Goswami, Gauhar Khan, Boman Irani and Anupam Kher. Directed by Abhinay Deo and with dialogues by Farhan Akhtar, ‘Game’ promises to be a slick edge-of-the-seat thriller.

Speaking on the announcement, Sunil Lulla, Managing Director, Eros International Media Ltd said, “Ritesh Sidhwani and Farhan Akhtar are great producers and have carved a niche for themselves for producing some edgy cinema. Eros International is delighted to associate with them and release these highly anticipated films through our extensive distribution network and thereby showcasing the movies to a global audience.”
