HanuMan marked the first film from Prasanth Varma Cinematic Universe and the movie written and helmed by creative director Prasanth Varma ended up as a Pan India blockbuster. The filmmaker announced 3rd project from PVCU. Riwaz Ramesh Duggal will produce the movie on RKD Studios, while RK Duggal will present it. RKD Studios is India’s leading motion picture production, distribution and acquisition company, venturing into production with this movie. Prasanth Varma provides the story and screenplay. Female director Puja Aparna Kolluru brings her unique storytelling expertise to the project, blending the spiritual and the mythical with contemporary issues. This marks the first female superhero film coming from India, and is also the most ferocious superhero in the universe.
They have announced the title “Mahakali,” set against the rich cultural backdrop of Bengal. This powerful and socially relevant film will feature a bold and refreshing portrayal of the revered Goddess Kali by a dark-skinned actress in the lead role, breaking stereotypes and redefining beauty standards in Indian cinema.
Set in Bengal, a region deeply connected to Goddess Kali, the movie will capture the essence of the land and its deep-rooted traditions, with stunning visuals and an emotionally gripping narrative.
The announcement poster features a girl gently touching her head to that of a tiger. In the background, there are huts and shops visible, and people fleeing in panic. A Ferris wheel can be seen in flames. The title poster designed in Bengali font displays a diamond-like shape in the middle. Overall, the poster truly strikes a chord, and indicates the grandness in production.
“Mahakali” promises to be an epic journey of empowerment, faith, and resilience, inspired by the fierce and compassionate nature of the Goddess Kali. The film will explore not only her divine power but also touch upon themes of discrimination, inner strength, and the reclaiming of one’s identity in a world that often overlooks the value of darker skin.
The film aims to celebrate the diversity of Indian women and their indomitable spirit, highlighting the strength that lies in embracing one’s identity fully. The film is set to challenge societal norms and serve as a beacon of inspiration for those who have been marginalized or underrepresented.
The movie will have a talented team of technicians taking care of different crafts. Smaran Sai scores the music, while Sri Nagendra Tangala is the production designer. The film’s cast and other technical crew will be revealed later.
Experience Mahakali in IMAX 3D, to be released in Indian and foreign languages. HanuMan was recently released in Japan and doing really well.
“Mahakali” is not just a movie. It is a movement towards inclusivity and representation!
