Indian action thriller “Martin” has secured multiple international distribution deals, sales agent Indywood Distribution Network revealed at the Hong Kong FilMart.
The film, which follows an Indian Revenue Service officer who loses his memory after a traumatic incident in Pakistan, has been acquired by Energia for Latin America, Capella Film for Russia, C2 Entertainments for the U.S. and Trinity Creative Partnership for the U.K.
Directed by A.P. Arjun and produced by Uday K. Mehta, “Martin” stars Dhruva Sarja in the lead role, with supporting performances from Vaibhavi Shandilya, Anveshi Jain and Sukrutha Wagle.
According to the official synopsis, the narrative follows protagonist Arjun, who “wakes up in a Pakistani prison with no recollection of his identity” and “embarks on a perilous journey to uncover his past.” As his memory gradually returns, he discovers he was on a mission to apprehend the titular Martin, described as “a notorious international crime boss known for eliminating adversaries with a signature shot to the left eye.”
Indywood also represents several other Indian titles including “Identity,” “Manjummel Boys,” “Maharaja,” “777 Charlie,” “The Goat Life,” “Ayalaan,” “Marco,” “Shakahari,” “Blink” and “Kamasutra.” Ahead of Berlin’s European Film Market in February, Indywood picked up international sales rights to “The Wrestler” (“Boli”), Bangladesh‘s submission for the 97th Academy Awards’ international feature film category and top prize-winner at the Busan International Film Festival.
