His acting career may have hit a dead-end,but YRF Entertainment’s CEO,Uday Chopra,is exploring international territories and signing major deals — the latest being a collaboration with PierreAnge Le Pogam of Stone Angels to produce and finance the upcoming Nicole Kidman motion picture,Grace of Monaco. The film,to be directed by Olivier Dahan of the famous film La Vie En Rose,starts production this fall in South of France. YRF Entertainment’s development head,Jonathan Reiman,will serve as executive producer,along with the film’s writer,Arash Amel. Inferno is currently selling foreign rights to the film at the Cannes Film Festival. The movie tells the story of efforts by the late Princess Grace of Monaco (the former Grace Kelly,played by Nicole Kidman) to make peace between her adopted country and France. Grace,just 33-years-old and having just given up an acting career to become Monaco’s First Lady,maneuvered through a political minefield to resolve the situation,as detailed in the film. “Grace of Monaco is the kind of movie that has a perfect blend of talent and sensibility,something that YRF Entertainment is proud to be a part of. We look forward to a great partnership with Olivier and PierreAnge,” says Chopra.
