Anurag Kashyap's Phantom Films is in a multi-year pact with Blumhouse Productions and Ivanhoe Pictures to produce local-language genre movies in India, it has been revealed.
The deal calls for the production of a minimum of ten films over five years and Kashyap is set to direct one of the movies in the planned slate, the Hollywood Reporter reported.
