Eros International and Endemol India have announced a strategic alliance to co-produce three feature films as well as original programming for television. 
As a part of the deal, Eros International and Endemol India will be co-producing an action comedy that will be a remake of a South Indian blockbuster, an original romantic comedy and a comic caper. Targeted at Bollywood enthusiasts across genres, the first film to be made will be a romantic comedy, which will go on floors later this year. With Eros recently announcing its foray into premium television with HBO, television formats and original programming for television is another area that Eros and Endemol will collaborate on. 

Jyoti Deshpande, executive director, Eros International Media, said: "We are really excited to be partnering with Endemol India. We both are IP-driven companies and Eros having been market leaders in the filmed entertainment arena, while film co-production has its natural synergies, we will also create original high quality compelling television content as digitization takes Indian television into the premium subscription phase. The alliance is founded on the coming together of our respective core competencies in film and television”.
