January 05, 2007 Edition 1

MUMBAI: Several Hollywood stars such as Nicolas Cage and Guy Ritchie are helping Oscar-nominated Indian director Shekhar Kapur produce a comic book series inspired by Indian mythology, a newspaper has reported.

Kapur, who directed Elizabeth, said rock group Duran Duran were also interested in working with him on the comic books. Richard Branson's Virgin Comics - of which Kapur is a co-founder - will publish the comics that are aimed to appeal to Indian and international audiences, the Mumbai Mirror says.

It says Cage has created the character of a sadhu or an Indian sage, while Ritchie is working on a story. - Reuters
