He said that the film on Kashmir would be produced by his own studio, DreamWorks, along with its Indian partner Reliance Entertainment, which also co-produced Lincoln.
“We have finalised a script for the movie,”
Spielberg said. “Part of it will take place on the India-Pakistan border in Kashmir. But we're still trying to figure out the casting, locations and who's going to direct it.”
The 66-year-old director met with Bollywood stars and other Indian film personalities on Monday night. At a party hosted by Indian businessman Anil Ambani, the director met Bollywood actor Amitabh Bachchan, who later tweeted that the director was “scintillating”.
In his 40-year career, Spielberg has been behind more than 50 films.
