Billed as India’s largest history-inspired slate, the lineup draws from figures, eras and cultural traditions that have shaped the subcontinent over the centuries. The slate features stories inspired by Hanuman, Krishna, Shiva, Shivaji, Durga, Kali and Swami Samarth. The previously released Mahabharata series serves as the starting point for the larger vision of the Histoverse, demonstrating how historically rooted narratives can be adapted for the modern screen.
Three of the newly announced projects are being developed as theatrical films, while two will take shape as web series, with additional titles currently in various stages of development. From the initial stages of writing to the final visual experience, each layer has been carefully shaped to build scale, detail and immersion, allowing these stories to unfold with a richness and scope rarely attempted before.
Speaking about Slate, Vijay Subramaniam, Founder and Group CEO of Collective Artists Network, said, “I have always believed that our folklore is the richest in the world, and these stories woven at the core of our cultural fabric deserve a global platform. As Historyverse grows, our vision goes beyond movies and series to include experiences, consumer brands and gaming; built around these stories to connect with audiences. Creating a bigger ecosystem.”
With this announcement, Histories under Collective Studios reinforces Collective Artist Network’s commitment to building a long-term storytelling platform dedicated to Indian history-inspired narratives, designed to connect with audiences across generations and geographies.
