With a commitment to offer quality content to further the business and reach of Indian entertainment, Miraj Creations has joined hands with AVMA Media to produce two Hindi films. The first of the two projects, titled Uma, will be directed by debutant Tathagata Singha and creatively produced by Sujoy Ghosh. Apart from this film, Sujoy will write, direct and jointly produce the second project in the line-up, which is a big-screen adaptation of Rabindranath Tagore’s famed Bengali short story Kabuliwala. It will be a period drama set in the United Kingdom. Both films will go on floors next year.

The two projects signal the revamped production vertical of Miraj Creations, which is in discussions with leading filmmakers to build a portfolio of movies with the right creative and commercial mix. Many more projects are likely to be announced shortly.

Mantraraj Paliwal, Vice Chairman, Miraj Group, says, “We find ourselves in a great phase, and are delighted to partner with a master filmmaker like Sujoy Ghosh, to bring to life his creative vision. Staying committed to producing quality film products, we will always strive to collaborate with top talent in the entertainment business.” Sujoy shares, “Both the films are very exciting, Kabuliwala, in particular, has been a dream project for me, and now, I can finally adapt the story for the screen.”

Talking about the collaboration, Avishek Ghosh of AVMA Media says, “We are thrilled with this association and are looking forward to bringing two wonderful stories on screen. The audience is in for a treat.”

Raj Malik, Business Head, Miraj Creations, says, “These two refreshing and exciting films from an ace filmmaker like Sujoy Ghosh is just the beginning of our vision to build strong creative credibility in the entertainment industry.”
