So that’s what the phrase ‘going places’ means! Indian director and producer Vidhu Vinod Chopra (producer of the Munna Bhai series) is directing a film in Hollywood titled Broken Horses. It will see the light of day in January 2015.

It’s a gangster flick that revolves around the drug issue on the borders of Mexico and the US. The cast includes Christopher Marquette, Anton Yelchin, Vincent D’Onofrio and Maria Valverde.

We hope Vidhu VC will not pepper his film with the bhai culture of Mumbai. The blend of bhais and Mexican desperados will create a weird effect. If you know what I mean.
