A film on the scandalous and horrifying story of Gurgaon kidney racket of 2008 is in the pipeline. A Los Angeles based production company, NeuAsia Studios, has taken the command to show the scandal on the big screen. The racket was operated by Amit Kumar, who used to remove kidneys from the poor of western Uttar Pradesh which were then re-transplanted into rich patients from the United States, United Kingdom, etc. for large sums of money. The makers have titled the film, ‘Eastern Crimes’ and an Indian actor, Rakshak Sahni, has been roped to play one of the leads.
The production house made the official announcement by issuing a statement which read, "Our production house announces the launch of a 30 million dollars film revolving around organ harvesting set in India and the US. The plot has an American cop who joins forces with an Indian cop to investigate the disappearance of his niece and its connection to a New Delhi crime syndicate's global organ harvesting operation. Staying true to the setting, the film will star an Indian actor and an American actor in the lead as cops who are attempting to bust the racket."
Produced by NeuAsia Studios, ‘Eastern Crimes’ is written by Mansur Ahmed and the makers are in talks with six-time Oscar-nominated director Peter Weir to direct the film.
