The partnership will see the two entities jointly produce a diverse slate of films, including a Gujarati-language feature, marking a notable expansion into regional storytelling for both banners. The yet-to-be-titled projects are expected to span genres, reflecting Mehta’s penchant for rooted narratives and his ambition to scale impactful stories beyond language and geography.

“This collaboration with Hansal and the team at True Story represents an exciting chapter for Bhanushali Studios as we continue to champion stories that are authentic and culturally rich,” said Bhanushali, Founder and Chairman of Bhanushali Studios Limited. “The inclusion of a Gujarati-language film holds special significance for us, as we aim to bring regional narratives to a broader audience.”

Mehta, whose recent works include The Buckingham Murders (that opened at the BFI London film festival) and the upcoming biopic on Gandhi, echoed the sentiment: “Collaborating with Vinod and Bhanushali Studios gives us the freedom to push boundaries with stories that are both urgent and personal. This slate reflects the kind of cinema that challenges, resonates, and endures. We’re excited to amplify these voices and bring them to life on screen.”

Details regarding collaborating partners, cast, directors, and production timelines remain under wraps, with more specific announcements expected in the coming months.
