The project had originally been slated for distribution by Warner Independent Pictures, which went belly-up earlier this summer. Under the yet-to-be-announced deal, Warners proper and Searchlight will buy in at a 50% stake.
The film, based on a true story about an impoverished Indian youth who improbably strikes it rich with an appearance on the Subcontinental version of "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?" is slated for screening at the upcoming Toronto fest and has been invited for a look-see at Telluride as well.
