Filmmaker Michael Bay, Bhanushali Studios Limited, Anthony D’Souza, A R Rahman come together for an adrenaline-charged project!
As a big move for the Indian film industry, Bhanushali Studios Limited has announced a groundbreaking creative collaboration with none other than Hollywood’s visionary storyteller, Michael Bay. Between Directing and Producing, Bay is responsible for over 10 Billion Dollars of Box Office making him one of the highest grossing filmmakers of all time. Between Bad Boys, Armageddon, Pearl Harbor, The Transformers Franchise, A Quiet Place Franchise and so much more, he has redefined the modern blockbuster and elevated action filmmaking into its own art form. This marks Michael Bay’s first-ever creative partnership with an Indian film and an Indian Studio, Bhanushali Studios, a moment he shared with the world through his social media.
This adrenaline-charged project will be directed by #AnthonyDSouza, the filmmaker known for high-scale entertainers such as Boss, Blue, and Azhar. Adding to Michael’s creative expertise, is none other than India’s musical maestro #ARRahman who has taken our stories and music to the global platform.
Michael Bay on his first Indian collaboration stated, “It will be an exciting chance to mix Hollywood’s action style with the heart and emotion of Indian storytelling. Working with Rahman, Vinod, and Tony is a chance to create a new kind of cinematic experience—one with power, rhythm, and incredible visuals. Tony’s vision, especially how he handles scale and emotion in his movies, will make this collaboration really fulfilling.”
A.R. Rahman, having successfully reigned both worlds, comments,
“When different worlds of cinema come together, it opens up a beautiful space for music. For me, composing is about finding the film’s soul and giving the score its own unique personality, a voice for the unsaid. I try to let the music carry the emotion.”
Bhanushali Studios Limited has been steadily building a slate of powerful, large-scale films in collaboration with industry giants like Warner Bros Pictures, Aanand L Rai’s Colour Yellow Productions, Hansal Mehta’s True Story Films, and Ali Abbas Zafar’s AAZ Films. Their latest alliance with Michael Bay signals a bold leap into an era of international synergy, big vision, and boundary-breaking filmmaking.
#VinodBhanushali, Chairman & Managing Director of Bhanushali Studios Limited, shared, “Cinema is global, stories are universal, and collaborations like these remind us that scale has no borders. To create a film where Michael Bay’s kinetic mastery meets the poetic musical universe of A.R. Rahman is nothing short of a dream forged in ambition. As our team comes together across continents, we are hopeful that an Indian story can find its voice on a truly global stage.”
Director Anthony D’Souza, who will helm this spectacular venture, shared that, “By bringing together both the incendiary ingenuity and the visionary ethos of Michael Bay, the ethereal musical genius of Rahman sir with the support and cinematic narrative of Bhanushali Studios, it is both an honour and a privilege to collaborate with the true legends of cinema, whose mastery continues to inspire and humble me. With this cinematic endeavour we aspire to harmonize the cadence of relentless velocity and to conjure a spectacle so grand yet resonant with soul.”
The film is currently in early development stage while more updates will follow as the project moves ahead.
