The announcement took place in the presence of key dignitaries, including Information & Broadcasting Minister Shri Ashwini Vaishnaw, Maharashtra Chief Minister Shri Devendra Fadnavis, and Union Minister of State for I&B Dr L. Murugan. Dr Allirajah Subaskaran, Chairman of Lyca Group, and producer Mahaveer Jain reiterated their commitment to supporting the Prime Minister’s #WAVES initiative, which aims to transform India into a leading global hub for content creation and cinematic excellence.
Both production houses bring a strong legacy to the table. Lyca Productions, the UK- and Europe-based film arm of Lyca Group, has previously delivered blockbuster spectacles such as Robot 2.0 with Rajinikanth and Ponniyin Selvan I & II in collaboration with Mani Ratnam. Mahaveer Jain Films, known for socially relevant and emotionally resonant films like Uunchai, is already working on a diverse pipeline including Naagzilla (with Karan Johar, starring Kartik Aaryan), the international thriller White (featuring Vikrant Massey as Sri Sri Ravi Shankar), and a biopic on chess legend Viswanathan Anand.
In their joint statement, Subaskaran and Jain expressed heartfelt gratitude to Prime Minister Modi, praising his visionary leadership and commitment to fostering creativity, innovation, and global collaboration. This monumental partnership not only highlights the evolving stature of Indian cinema but also serves as a strategic cultural export aimed at creating impact beyond borders, across genres, themes, and audiences.
