Indian filmmaker may shoot movie on Armenian Genocide

Indian filmmaker Shekhar Kapur says he might shoot a movie on the Armenian Genocide.

"Going to Yerevan (capital of Armenia). Is there an Armenian community in India? Going to Armenia to study massacre of Armenians in 1915 and perhaps make a film on it later," Kapur tweeted, according to zeenews.india.com.

Shekhar Kapur is a globally-recognised film director, media visionary and proponent on the future of New Media. Having started his career as an accountant, management consultant and economist in London, he returned to India in search of a new direction and went on to become a well-known actor, director, writer and producer. He is best known for films, such as Elizabeth the Golden Age, Bandit Queen and Four Feathers, that have won or been nominated for numerous awards including the Oscars, BAFTAs and Filmfare Awards.
