MUMBAI: Tarsem Singh, known to be a veteran of commercials who directed R.E.M.‘s clip Losing My Religion has been signed to direct a Snow White feature.

The untitled project begins with the evil stepmother killing Snow White‘s father and destroying the kingdom. Snow White then enlists a gang of seven quarrelsome dwarves to reclaim what is rightly hers.

Relativity Media hopes to begin production of the film in March next.

Singh, who is more commonly known by his first name has just finished The Immortals. His other features include The Cell that starred Jennifer Lopez and The Fall.
