Cinelicious Acquires Gangs of Wasseypur for NA Distribution

Cinelicious Pics is proud to announce that it has acquired Anurag Kashyap’s epic Indian crime masterpiece GANGS OF WASSEYPUR for North American distribution, from the producers of the runaway foreign language hit THE LUNCHBOX. The film will be presented by Adi Shankar (producer of THE GREY, DREDD, KILLING THEM SOFTLY and the upcoming A WALK AMONG THE TOMBSTONES) and will be released in two parts in the Fall of 2014.

“America has The Godfather, Korea has Oldboy, Japan has Battles Without Honor & Humanity, Hong Kong has Infernal Affairs, Brazil has City of God, and now India has Gangs of Wasseypur,” notes Adi Shankar. “In a monumental year that marks India’s emergence as an international cinematic powerhouse, we now have our preeminent crime epic in Gangs of Wasseypur, and my friends at Cinelicious Pics are the perfect team to introduce it to North America. I'm beyond honored that Guneet and Anurag have asked me to be part of its release.”
