Producer Sheetal Talwar, who has made films like Mausam, Rakhta Charitra and Rann, has tied up with the BBC to co-produce a film on the notorious Eichmann trials.
Entitled The Eichmann Show, the film will be directed by BAFTA nominee Peter Andrew Williams, acclaimed writer-director on film and television.
The Eichmaan trials chronicled on live television the Nazi war crimes of Otto Adolf Eichmann. This was the first ever trial as a reality show on television.
Talwar says the film version of the trials will be a never-before cinematic experience.
"The Eichmann Show is based on the Eichmann trials. It is a film on the court trials that were telecast on TV, making it the world's first reality show. The film is being produced by two BAFTA nominee producers, a BAFTA nominee director, BBC and me.”
The film shall be shot in UK, Lithuania and Malta.
"After I produced Pankaj Kapur's directorial debut Mausam, my production company has been focusing on script development and putting a slate together. This includes Veda, Rajiv Gandhi, Guru Dutt and now Eichmann. This is the first time that an Indian producer is co-producing with BBC."
