Well-known Russian film director Alexei Uchitel is going to make a film about the legendary rock singer Victor Tsoy.

      He asked the Cinema Foundation to finance the project with 90 million rubles.

      "In my opinion, the potential of the film about Victor Tsoy is no less than that of the film Vysotsky. It will be a road movie, the main character of which is the driver who crashed against Victor’s car. Our studio has the copyright for eight songs and a video featuring Victor. This will give viewers the feeling of his presence,"- the film director said.

      The film will tell about the late life of Victor Tsoi, his love story. The director noted that he wanted to do without any actor impersonating the singer.

      The total budget of the film is 150 million. The studio has requested the Cinema Foundation to provide it with 60 million rubles on non-refundable terms and 30 million rubles on refundable terms.
