"The film is a Zombie Origin, and not a zom-com, or a Zombie survival film. And Indian audience are sure to lap it up since they will empathise with the journey of a human being as he is faced with seemingly insurmountable predicament, " Luke said in a statement.
"Moreover, the Indian and international audiences will learn the humanity behind the Zombie Origin saga, " added the actor who is not only producing it, but will also act in it.
It seems that Bollywood is fascinated by the genre - apart from Luke, Saif Ali Khan's "Go Goa Gone" and Abhay Deol's "Rock The Shaadi" are also Zombie comedies, which are slated for a release next year.
Luke with his partner Devki Singh has also registered the title "Zombie" in their names and have started working on the sequel to the film.
