Jonathan Bennett, Jamie Lynn Sigler, and Nadia Bjorlin Lead Divorce Invitation

RR Movie Makers, a leading entertainment company headquartered in India and headed by prolific producer Venkat, is launching a U.S. based film financing and production outfit to generate up to three English-language pictures a year. The company's first project is DIVORCE INVITATION, a romantic comedy starring Jonathan Bennett, Jamie Lynn Sigler, and Nadia Bjorlin.

Critically acclaimed and award-winning Indian director S.V. Krishna Reddy will make his U.S. directorial debut on the project. Krishna Reddy (who has a story by credit), Bala Rajasekharuni, and Robert Naturman wrote the screenplay. Venkat will produce with Ram serving as an executive producer. M.S.P. Srinivas Reddy is co-producer. Principal photography commences in August in Los Angeles.

DIVORCE INVITATION centers on Mike Christian (Bennett), a happily married man who runs into his high school sweetheart Alex (Nadia Bjorlin) and after all these years, sparks still fly. When Mike is determined Alex is his true soul mate, he realizes he has a huge problem-he signed an iron-clad pre-nuptial agreement and his wife (Sigler) will not let him out of the marriage.
Krishna Reddy commented, "Many of the reputed Indian directors' lifelong dreams have been to make the crossover into Hollywood. I am grateful for this opportunity and look forward to working with our U.S. crew and above-the-line talent to deliver a humorous and commercial movie for audiences around the globe."
