Their broad and encompassing vision of "Make in India and Show the World" will ensure the expansion of the whole entertainment value chain. Future possibilities are limitless, and today opens a new chapter in our mission to elevate the creative greatness of outstanding storytellers and give wings to the greatest stories ever told.
