MUMBAI: Anil D. Ambani’s Reliance Entertainment has inked an Indo-French partnership with Julie Gayet’s Rouge International, and Elisa Soussan’s myFamily, to produce Serge Hazanavicius’ French movie, nOmber One.

Kev Adams, who has earlier been seen in movies like Les Profs 2 and Les Nouvelles Aventures d’Aladin, will play the lead role. 

nOmber One tells the story of a quest, and of the ascension of a uniquely talented young man, in a world gone mad, a world of commerce and mercantile deals. It is also the tale of a father-son relationship between two men who share the same passion, of how events tear them apart, and of how a love of the snow, and quite simply love itself, brings them back together again. The movie is a story of riders, the daring last action heroes who risk their lives for a beautiful run, for an ephemeral race carved out on the sheer, white face of a remote and isolated mountain.

nOmber One is written by Hazanavicius, Stephane Dan, Mary-Noelle Dana, and Alexis Galmot, and will be directed by Hazanavicius.

Principal photography is expected to start in February 2016 in France, and the film will also shoot extensively in March - April 2016 on the skiing slopes in the Himalayas in India.
