MUMBAI: Horror film Piranha 3D is set to release in India on 29 October in English and Hindi in over 300 screens across India.

Produced by Dimension Films, the film is to be distributed in the country by Multivision Multimedia India Pvt Ltd in association with Eagle Video and MGH Enterprises.

The film is set in Lake Victoria, Arizona, where a tremor causes the lake‘s floor to open, setting free scores of prehistoric piranhas who break all hell loose in the vicinity.

Directed by Alexandre Aja, Piranha 3D is a second remake of the 1978 film after James Cameron‘s directorial debut Piranha II: The Spawning in 1981.

“The film has done well abroad. We are hoping that people will like it in India as well. It will also release in Hindi,” said MGH Enterprises director Ashok Ahuja.

The film’s cast includes Steven R. McQueen, Jessica Szohr, Adam Scott, Elisabeth Shue, Kelly Brook, Riley Steele, Richard Dreyfuss, Jerry O‘Connell, Christopher Lloyd, Ving Rhames, Dina Meyer, Cody Longo, Ricardo Antonio Chavira, Paul Scheer, Ashlynn Brooke, Gianna Michaels and Eli Roth.
