Actor-producer-director Raja Bundela, who produced several TV serials and directed the film "Pratha", has made a crossover English film "That Game Of Chess".
The film, shot with an India-born-US-settled actor and an all-American crew, was shot in the US in just 20 days, reports Bollywood Trade. Raja and his American partners
are now hoping for an August release.
The film tells the story of an Indian boy who migrates to the US on a work assignment and promises his father that he will stay away from wine, women and drugs until one
wrong move changes his whole life.
"That one move leads him to a series of other moves, which leads him to an eventual path of self-destruction," says Raja.
However, he insists it is not a typical crossover film that preaches Indian values.
"On the contrary, it maintains that if you want to live in the west, you should learn to embrace the values there, else you are lost," he says.
The film has four English songs rendered by an American-African singer, Leena.
