London, Jan 16 (PTI) Leading Indian entrepreneur Anil
Ambani plans a takeover of the Metro-Goldwyn-Meyer Hollywood
studio in an attempt to become one of the world's most
powerful film bosses, the 'Daily Telegraph' reported on
Saturday.
When contacted, a Anil Ambani Group spokesperson declined
to comment.
Anil Ambani already owns a controlling stake in Steven
Spielberg's DreamWorks studio and has struck a series of deals
with stars including Hollywood stars Brad Pitt, Jim Carrey,
Julia Roberts and George Clooney to develop their films.
Anil Ambani-led Reliance Big Pictures produced two most
successful films last year while its current blockbuster '3
Idiots' has broken Indian box office records.
According to the report, he hopes to expand his influence
with an ambitious bid for MGM, the Hollywood studio which owns
the James Bond franchise.
Sources close to Ambani confirmed his interest in
acquiring MGM and it would help him to achieve his ambition to
become the world's most powerful film mogul, the report said.
Ambani is a respected tycoon whose empire spans power
generation, distribution, insurance, financial services and
communication. His company is India's second largest mobile
phone operator, it said. More PTI
