Independent has sold UK rights for A Bollywoof Tale to Icon Film Distribution ahead of the American Film Market (AFM, November 5-12) in Los Angeles. To be directed by Frederik Du Chau (Underdog), the film that stars Kunal Nayyar (television’s The Big Bang Theory) is about a much-loved pet spaniel, with a comfortable family life in London, moving with his human family to Delhi, but when his crate is misplaced at Heathrow, he arrives on the other side of India in Kolkata. Principal photography will commence in London and India in early 2015.
