Apparently part musical, as is traditional in Bollywood.

I can hardly wait!

I just saw this report too. Incredible - who on earth is Rani Rupmati? And how are they going to get the wet sari scene in? Perhaps it'll be a wet chiton...

Wicked men, you sin against your fathers, who conquered the whole world under Philip and Alexander.

Don't know about the wet sari scene, but they've managed to work in the karma sutra! :lol: Check out the official website for more details.

Well, the movie's website says to "get ready for a journey where you will experience love, lust, sex, power, and above all the untold 2nd chapter of [the life of] Alexander the Great". I suppose we're in for quite a historical epic, eh? :wink: But honestly, I can't wait to see Alexander as a sex-crazed man whose desire to come back to India was so strong that not even death itself could stop him. Will it open in America?

Probably, but I doubt it will have a general release. More likely it will play in local Indian theaters and it may not open here until some months from now. There's a theater a few blocks from where I live - have seen a few Bollywood movies there, mostly "historical" (read "legendary") epics. They only have showings two or three days a week so I'll try and stop over at the weekend and ask if Royal Ustav is on their schedule.

Best regards,
