ZEE to re-enter film production business

ZEE Entertainment Enterprises Ltd (formerly known as ZEE Telefilms) has announced that it is to go back into film production, five years after its last blockbuster ‘Gadar Ek Prem Katha’.

“We did not make anything after ‘Gadar’ because we received only Rs 38 crore of the Rs 150-160 crore the film earned. Unless you have your own distribution there is no point in making films. We will enter film production again and the first film will be released in May-June 2007,” Chandra told Business Standard.

The channel is currently in production with a movie, which will star the winners of its reality show ‘Cinestars Ki Khoj’.
