After the success of the preferred reality show, Bigg Boss, the producers, Endemol India, are actually planing to launch a movie on the way to be in response to the truth show.
The makers, together with Select Media Holdings Pvt Ltd (the film production arm), will jointly produce a gloomy comedy. It'll be
based at the experiences the contestants have had within the Bigg Boss house, during the last six seasons. Slated to head at the floors in early 2013, the film is currently in its scripting stage.
“Globally, this formula (of converting hit shows into films) has worked well. For instance, shows like Sex & The town have done well as films too. Within the Bigg Boss film, we're going to experiment with the horror-comedy genre,” says Nitin Tej Ahuja, director, Select Media Holdings Pvt Ltd.
Although the actors for the feature film are yet to be finalised, the makers have revealed that the audience gets to observe an ensemble cast comprising popular faces from television and Bollywood.
Housemates from the former seasons of Bigg Boss also are being approached for the film.
Deepak Dhar, CEO, Endemol India says, “I feel the concept that is interesting as Bigg Boss has achieved success in epic proportions. It has become a part of daily lives and has managed to chop across all age groups. We're certain that we’ll have the ability to recreate the unpredictability of this format at the silver screen as well.”
