Mumbai, July 15 (IBNS) Looks like cricketer Brett Lee's silver screen debut unINDIAN is already making waves with its trailer which has just been launched. The first look of unINDIAN was revealed on highly rated Today Show in Australia along with Steven Spielberg's Tom Hanks Starrer Bridge of Spies.

unINDIAN, the cross-cultural comedy, starring Brett Lee and well known international actress Tannishtha Chatterjee is directed by Anupam Sharma and was filmed in Sydney earlier this year and is the first production of the Australia India Film Fund (AIFF).

The film's trailer has resulted in a tremendous buzz in the industry. Though the release date is yet to be announced for India, the distributors are bidding for the Indian theatrical and ancillary rights along with soundtrack which has been composed by Salim Sulaiman from India with Amanda Brown in Australia.  

 
Speaking from Fox Studios in Sydney, Producer Lisa Duff says, "Brett Lee is well-known and very popular in India and as a result we have received quite a lot of interest from Indian distributors. We are entertaining proposals from Indian distributors who recognize the creative and commercial worth of unINDIAN and can take it to a wide Indian audience with unique and creative marketing tools and strategy. We will be choosing our Indian distributor from the proposals we are receiving and will decide by second week of August.”

The film makers are planning a big release of the soundtrack along with announcing the Indian distributors at a Bollywood style party to be hosted by Brett Lee and Australia India Film Fund in Mumbai, with major Bollywood stars that are friends/fans of Brett lee on the guest list.

International Sales & Marketing Consultant, Kathleen Drumm, who is a former senior executive at Screen Australia and has spear-headed delegations and interactions with the Indian industry via the Goa Film Bazaar and Ficci Frames in Mumbai, said “unINDIAN has remarkable potential in the Indian market to reach a broad, upwardly mobile audience of men and women. It offers an international perspective while speaking to their cultural experience in a rich and entertaining way."  
 
"In order to tap into this market and maximize returns, the film needs to be in the hands of a professional distributor, who crafts a tailored release strategy aligned with the film's strengths."

unINDIAN is an Australian romantic comedy that follows the chequered path of Aussie bloke Will as he attempts to woo the gorgeous Indian woman Meera who lives in Sydney with her daughter.
