Peter Fonda likes his 'Banker'
By Adnan Tezer Mar 31, 2010, 20:34 GMT
Peter Fonda will star in the independent film "Banker to the Poor."
The film will be based on the true-life story of Muhammad Yunus, who won the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize for creating the microcredit loan concept that helped people in third world countries too poor to qualify for traditional bank loans.
Indian actor Irrfan Khan ("Slumdog Millionaire") is in advanced talks to star as Yunus while Fonda will play an American businessman against Yunus' economic approach.
According to Variety, Italian director Marco Amenta ("The Sicilian Girl") will direct from a script he wrote with Italian writers Sergio Donati and Massimo Gaudioso with assistance from Yunus.
Shooting begins in Sri Lanka in October.
