After the shooting of "Dhoom II" in Rio de Janeiro, the first time an Indian film has been shot in Brazil, an Indo-Brazilian joint production will soon get off the ground.

Directed by well known filmmaker Anna Cristina Tostao e Silva, the feature film will be a cinematic version of the novel "The Tamarind" and will be co-produced with Indian filmmaker Indrani Chakravarty.

The film - which is at the conceptualisation stage - will have Indian and Brazilian actors and will be shot in both countries, Indian officials here said. It will roll in 2007.

Chakravarty, a native of Kolkata, had done a course in filmmaking at the Cuban Film Institute, the officials said.

A broad cultural agreement, including collaboration in the field of cinema, was signed during the visit of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh who concluded a three-day visit here Thursday.
