Viacom18 Motion Pictures has joined hands with Sanjay Leela Bhansali Productions to co-produce Akshay Kumar-starrer `Gabbar` and the much-talked about biopic on Olympic bronze medalist Mary Kom, starring Priyanka Chopra.
`Gabbar`, to be directed by Krish of `Vedam` and `Gam Yam` fame, is a remake of Tamil blockbuster `Ramana`, while the Mary Kom Biopic is helmed by Omung Kumar.
`We are proud to add the projects to our slate. This step reflects our belief in venturing boldly into associations with passionate, like-minded partners to deliver great content,` Ajit Andhare, COO, Viacom18 Motion Pictures, said in a statement.
Bhansali is also `extremely happy` with the association as `their passion and understanding for cinema remains same as ours`, he said.
The movie on Mary Kom went on floor this week, and the shooting of `Gabbar` is likely to begin later this year.
