Directed by #JaiMehta and produced in collaboration with Singh’s banner Maa Kasam Films, “Pralay” is envisioned as one of the most ambitious genre projects attempted in Indian cinema. Mehta describes the film as “a film unlike anything India has attempted before.”

True Story Films, which Mehta launched with producer Sahil Saigal in January 2025, is rapidly building a diverse slate spanning Hindi films, regional cinema and unscripted content.

Alongside “Pralay,” Mehta is also directing “Porbandar,” an action drama set in the birthplace of Mahatma Gandhi. The film is conceived as a gritty and violent narrative that stands in stark contrast to Gandhi’s legacy.

Currently in production is “Dilkashi,” a romantic musical marking the Hindi debut of acclaimed filmmaker Lijo Jose Pellissery. The project is being produced with Amazon MGM Studios and features music by Oscar-winning composer A. R. Rahman. Mehta describes it as “a love story told in Pellissery’s distinctive cinematic style.”

The banner’s growing lineup also includes “Kehar Singh,” directed by Ajitpal Singh, and the cannibalistic horror film “Mehfooz,” which has completed development.

In regional cinema, the company is backing the Gujarati film “Sardar Asardar,” based on Indian statesman Vallabhbhai Patel, as well as the Punjabi indie “Hanere de Panchi,” directed by Shashank Walia.

Beyond films, True Story Films is also co-producing “Family Business” with Abundantia Entertainment and backing Shonali Bose’s “Tongues of the Tree,” starring Pratik Gandhi. The company is also developing “Rasooi,” an AI-powered food series.

Saigal says the company aims to function as a boutique studio focused on backing projects that excite its creators. Mehta adds that in today’s environment, bold storytelling is essential, emphasizing that “audacity wins.”
