Eros International’s Trinity Pictures, which was set up as India’s first and only franchise feature studio in February 2015, is now ready with its first slate of films across exciting genres.
Trinity’s first slate is all about creating character-driven franchises which will be leveraged across feature films, merchandising, digital and more. With a focus on creating fresh concepts in new spaces, Trinity is also the first Bollywood studio in India that has a dedicated in-house team of writers in the ‘Trinity Writers’ Room’ who have created over 10 original franchises since the division’s inception, out of which at least four films will go into production in the fiscal year 2017.
Trinity’s initial lineup includes a live action elephant film, to a kid’s action film and an Indo-China project to name a few. These will be helmed by acclaimed directors from across the country including Kabir Khan, Siddharth Anand, Amole Gupte, Telugu director Krish and popular Tamil director Prabhu Solomon.
The first feature to roll out will be Amole Gupte’s big scale action film with a child secret agent at the centre of the story.
With Trinity’s launch, the studio is looking at expanding new film markets which includes opening of one of the biggest markets in the world – China. Two projects will be co-produced with a leading Chinese studio, based on stories organically weaving the socio-cultural worlds of both countries. Additionally, the films will be shot in both languages. The first Indo-China co-production to roll will be directed by Kabir Khan with an A-list cast from India and China — a human drama exploring the central character’s journey from India to China.
Siddharth Anand’s film is a fresh take on the spy genre in India while multiple award winning Tamil director, Prabhu Solomon’s bilingual project will be an inspiration from the quintessential super hit film—Haathi Mere Saathi.
Director Krish’s buddy cop film will be shot in Hindi and Tamil simultaneously, featuring popular lead actors from both the South and Bollywood. This film has been co-written by Shridhar Raghavan (mentor to Trinity writers), Dheeraj Rattan and K Subhash.
