MUMBAI: Audio-visual production company Malhotra Productions has teamed up with Elegant Films Pvt Ltd to produce producer-director Nileish Malhotra's Monopoly - the Game of Money.

An Indo-Canadian venture, the film is slated to release around July this year.

Apart from Malhotra, the other producers of the film are Jatinder Minhas, Ramesh Mehta and Manjit Bhatti.

Written by Rajesh Iyer, the film stars Karran Khanna, Zeenat Aman, Chunky Pandey and Vivek Shaque. This is going to be Malhotra's first venture as a director.

"The film is almost 80 per cent complete. The subject is first of its kind, and will prove to be ground breaking. The cast and crew will be multicultural," said Malhotra.

Malhotra Productions has also joined hands with a corporate house from Scotland to produce its next film Beyond Belief.

The corporate house has signed in Malhotra and UK-based writer Sheila Evans to direct the film. Director of photography for this film is Jack Conroy from Hollywood.
