How else can two boys land up in America and not find any girls?’ Karl and Kunal are just two ordinary Mumbai boys who like ordinary things: bunking class, films, food and pornography. Intent on attaining stardom they fly off to the legendary Lee Strasburg Acting Studio to sharpen their craft in acting and in chasing girls. They fail on both counts but come back with a jackpot: their maiden movie role. In Bollywood, they meet Yusuf Khan, who at forty-six is still the undisputed king of college romance. Being losers doesn’t get in their way and soon the trio become a hit team, churning out blockbuster after blockbuster. Before they know it, Karl and Kunal get their own spot boys, the defining moment in every Bollywood actor’s life, feature in an TV commercial with Leander Paes and Mahesh Bhupathi, and are even invited to meet Bill Clinton on his visit to India. But all this is not enough for Karl, who knows that it’s really politics which is the ultimate destination for all ‘great’ actors. As Pajama Party’s nominee from south Mumbai, Karl makes his debut as a politician. Will he hit the box office again? A novel about celebrities, Bollywood and politics, Karl, Aaj aur Kal is a hilarious novel from eBook Pub. Date: October 2011 India’s best known funny man.

  • Annual Report and Audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the Period from 4 April 2007 to 31 March 2008
    Annual Report and Audited Consolidated Financial Statements For the period from 4 April 2007 to 31 March 2008 Managed by Film Investment Managers (Mauritius) Limited Investment Objective The investment objective of The Indian Film Company Limited (the “Company”) and its Subsidiaries; The Indian Film Company (Cyprus) Limited (formerly Braxfield Investment Limited and IFC Distribution Private Limited (collectively the Group) is to achieve total return for Shareholders through investment in a diverse portfolio of Indian films and films primarily targeted at the Indian audience across different genres, languages and budgets. The Group intends to build a film library of Intellectual Property Rights (“IPR”) in various formats, including satellite, home video and mobile technology. The Directors and Film Investment Managers (Mauritius) Limited (the “Investment Manager”) (formerly known as BK Enterprises Limited) believe that the Group is well placed to take advantage of film investment opportunities and to capitalise on the growth that the Indian film industry is experiencing. Operational Strategy The Investment Manager, on behalf of the Group, captures opportunities in the entire value chain of film creation by; (i) sourcing and evaluating prospective film projects through a research-led investment process; and (ii) managing and structuring the production and distribution of such film projects. In sourcing prospective film projects the Investment Manager thoroughly evaluates film concepts, scripts, directors and cast in respect of current market data relating to current tastes and trends. The Investment Manager then assesses the feasibility of the project in relation to budget, timescales and the risks and rewards of each opportunity. Once a film project has been approved by the Board, the Group seeks to retain full ownership of all IPR relating to each film project, although in certain situations the Group may invest in a film project where it may not acquire all rights.
