Moserbaer plays pioneer yet again.

This time bringing to India, the two titans RObert De Niro and Al Pacino together in the simultaneous release of adrenaline fueled psychological thriller that stars timeless Robert De Niro and Al Pacino as a pair of veteran New York City police detectives on the trail of a vigilante serial killer.

It is a long time since the two veterans and coming with each other, and this makes the move a much-awaited one.

The film is carrying excellent reports and is expected to be a box office juggernaut across the globe.And Righteous Kill gets simultaneous release on Indian screens, due to the efforts of Moserbaer.

Says Mr Harish Dayani, Chief Executive, Moserbaer Entertainment, "the film is a thriller that transcends boundaries. And the Academy Award winners have come out with superlative performances. Hence, we are going all out to make Righteous Kill release in India a no-expenses spared effort."

Interestingly, tripevine tells us that Robert De Niro has specially asked for a DVD of Sarkar Raj as he wanted to see the performance of most popular actor in the world as proclaimed by BBC in the desi Godfather RGV flick. Will the Big B brave being mobbed to get to watch De Niro on the silver screen? Watch this space for more...

In the meantime, here is more on Righteous Kill. Written by Russell Gewirtz (Inside Man), and directed by Jon Avnet (Fried Green Tomatoes, Red Corner 88 Minutes), the cast also features hip-hop superstar Curtis '50 Cent' Jackson (Get Rich or Die Tryin'), Carla Gugino (American Gangster), John Leguizamo (Love In The Time Of Cholera) and Donnie Wahlberg (Saw II, III, IV).

Veteran stage actor Brian Dennehy (Death of A Salesman) joins newcomer Trilby Glover (The Starter Wife). Rob Dyrdek of MTV's hit show Rob and Big makes a cameo appearance, as well as Dan Futterman (A Mighty Heart) who was nominated for an Oscar for his adapted screenplay of last year's Capote.

The story begins when highly decorated Detectives Turk (DE NIRO) and Rooster (PACINO) of the NYPD face retirement which neither of them are ready for.

Before they can hang up their badges, they are called to investigate the murder of a notorious pimp, who appears to have ties to a case they solved years before.

Like the original murder, the victim is a suspected criminal whose body is found accompanied by a four-line poem justifying the killing.

When additional crimes take place, it becomes clear the detectives are looking for a serial killer - one who targets criminals who have fallen through the cracks of the judicial system.

His - or her - mission seems to be what the cops aren't able to do—take the culprits off the streets for good. The similarities between the recent killings and their earlier case raise a nagging question: Did they put the wrong person behind bars?

Joining Director Avnet behind the scenes are Cinematographer Denis Lenoir, ASC, AFC (Uprising, 88 Minutes), Production Designer Tracey Gallacher (Emmy-nominated for The Starter Wife, 88 Minutes), Costume Desi gner Debra McGuire (Superbad) and Editor Paul Hirsch (Ray).

The movie is produced by Avi Lerner and Boaz Davidson of Millennium Films with Randall Emmett, Daniel M. Rosenberg, Alexandra Milcham, Rob Cowan and Lati Grobman. Danny Dimbort, Trevor Short and George Furla are Executive Producers with Marsha Oglesby serving as Co-Producer.Brian Frankish is the Line Producer.
