中印将合作拍摄《大唐玄奘》
One of Bollywood's major production companies Eros International and China Film Corp have agreed to co-produce new movie "Monk Xuan Zang."
宝莱坞制片公司之一爱神国际与中国电影集团将合作拍摄新电影《大唐玄奘》。
The film is the first to be made using a bilateral co-production agreement between the two countries, which until recently have had only minimal film industry contact.
"Monk Xuan Zang" is based on the life of a Chinese monk and will star mainland actor Huang Xiaoming.
Xuan Zang is a noted Buddhist monk during the Tang dynasty (618-907), who made an arduous journey to India to study Buddhism.
The film will be directed by China's Huo Jian Qi. Details of budget, other casting and timing have not yet been released.
China and India have two of the world's largest film industries. Along with next week's release of Disney India's record-breaking film "PK" and last year's treaty signing, the production underlines close cultural relations between the two countries.
