\n\tProlific Indian advertising filmmaker Prasoon Pandey is set to make his feature film directorial debut with a contemporary mythological thriller backed by MovieVerse Studios and Ellipsis Entertainment.<\/p>\n
\n\tThe project marks a significant career pivot for Pandey, who has established himself as one of India\u2019s most celebrated commercial directors. He holds the distinction of being the first Asian filmmaker featured in Campaign Magazine\u2019s list of the 100 most influential advertising filmmakers worldwide, with his work earning recognition at Cannes Lions, Clio Awards, and D&AD.<\/p>\n
\n\tVaibhav Vishal (Sony\u2019s \u201cScam 1992: The Harshad Mehta Story,\u201d Netflix\u2019s \u201cRana Naidu\u201d) penned the script, which combines modern storytelling with culturally rooted narrative elements in what the filmmakers describe as a \u201cmass contemporary mythological thriller\u201d genre.<\/p>\n
\n\tMovieVerse Studios operates as the film production arm of IN10 Media Network, focusing on mainstream content for theatrical and streaming platforms. The company joins forces with Ellipsis Entertainment, known for acclaimed titles including \u201cNeerja,\u201d \u201cTumhari Sulu,\u201d \u201cLooop Lapeta,\u201d \u201cSharmajee Ki Beti,\u201d and \u201cDo Aur Do Pyaar.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cAt MovieVerse, we\u2019ve always believed in backing stories that offer something fresh and exciting to the audience,\u201d said Aditya Pittie, managing director of IN10 Media Network. \u201cThis collaboration marks a monumental leap forward for us. Recognizing the immense potential and creative passion behind this project, knowing it holds the promise of both artistic excellence and mass appeal, we welcome Prasoon Pandey aboard to debut with us.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\tVivek Krishnani, CEO of MovieVerse Studios, added: \u201cCollaborating with Prasoon Pandey, along with our partners at Ellipsis Entertainment, for his feature film debut is an exciting opportunity to bring forth stories that are not only relatable and engaging but also provide a rich, cinematic experience,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\n\tEllipsis Entertainment partners Tanuj Garg and Atul Kasbekar, said: \u201cPrasoon has been a dear friend and someone we\u2019ve admired for decades. Over the years, we\u2019ve shared countless scripts with him, but this one resonated deeply enough for him to make his feature film debut.\u201d <\/p>\n
\n\tThe company has previously worked with advertising directors including Ram Madhvani and Suresh Triveni in their transition to feature filmmaking.<\/p>\n
\n\tFor Pandey, the decision to move into features required finding the right project. \u201cI really enjoy the kind of stories I get to do in advertising, which is why I haven\u2019t done a feature film yet,\u201d he said. \u201cSo if I have to take a short break from ads after we are done casting, I was clear that it would have to be a story that\u2019s truly intriguing and unlike anything I\u2019ve seen before. So when Atul shared this with me, I knew this was the one.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\tThe filmmaker described the narrative as having \u201cthe potential to push cinematic boundaries,\u201d adding that he \u201ccouldn\u2019t have asked for better collaborators than MovieVerse Studios and Ellipsis Entertainment to embark on this journey.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\tCasting for the lead roles is currently underway, with announcements expected imminently.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
