This just in: Netflix has bagged its first Indian original movie titled Love Per Square Foot, from Ronnie Screwvala's independent production house RSVP.

As reported by DNA India, the movie is described as a romantic comedy about a man and a woman who enter into a marriage of convenience to buy an apartment in Mumbai.

Love Per Square Foot will be the first mainstream Indian movie to directly premiere on Netflix and will be available globally to over 100 million members in 190 countries. Netflix said the film will release in early 2018.

The film has been snapped up from Ronnie Screwvala's new independent production house, RSVP.

Co-produced with Still and Still Pictures, the movie features Vicky Kaushal (Masaan), Angira Dhar (web series Bang Baja Baarat), Ratna Pathak (Sarabhai vs Sarabhai), Supriya Pathak (Khichdi), and Raghuvir Yadav (Lagaan). Love Per Square Foot is also the feature directorial debut of actor Anand Tiwari (Udaan).

“We’re always looking for stories that bring joy to Netflix members, and Love Per Square Foot is a gem that we’re proud to have on the service," Reed Hastings, founder and CEO Netflix, said in a statement. "RSVP is a visionary partner, and we want to continue working with them and the best of Bollywood to deliver compelling stories to consumers around the world.”

“How, where and when great stories are watched is changing every day. Our younger audiences chose their mediums," Ronnie Screwvala added. "We love to disrupt and innovate in this space and this is a first of its kind for South Asia. We are thrilled to come together with Netflix and break new ground by reaching film-lovers around the world directly with Netflix.”
