Trinity Pictures, India’s first franchise feature film studio, is planning two landmark Indo-China co-productions to be released in fiscal 2018, according to Eros International Media.

These are Kabir Khan’s travel drama The Zookeeper (working title) and Siddharth Anand’s cross-cultural romantic comedy Love in Beijing (working title), to be co-produced with China’s Peacock Mountain Culture & Media and Huaxia Film Distribution.

The two films are the first ever Indo-China co-productions set in both India and China and will have Han Sanping, former chairman of China Film Group, as their creative producer. Sanping has produced more than 300 films and 100 TV series, including Red Cliff, Karate Kid and Let the Bullet Fly

With the cast from both India and China — a leading Indian male actor and leading Chinese actress — Kabir Khan’s human drama, The Zookeeper, tells the journey of an Indian zoo keeper to China to find a panda to return to India with in order to save his zoo.

Siddharth Anand’s cross-cultural romantic comedy, Love in Beijing — also with an A-lister Indian actress and leading Chinese male actor — is based on an Indian girl who falls in love with a Chinese man.

Production costs for The Zookeeper by Kabir Khan are expected to be at about $25 million and Love in Beijing $15 million.
