BOMBAY TIMES (January 30, 2023)

Suresh Triveni’s Jalsa, which released in March 2022, was appreciated by critics and audiences alike. The movie won the filmmaker praise for his direction and also the lead actors – Vidya Balan and Shefali Shah – for their performances. In April 2022, Suresh announced the launch of his creative studio and production house, Opening Image, in partnership with Vikram Malhotra-led Abundantia Entertainment, to make films and series.

After Tumhari Sulu (2017) and Jalsa, Suresh is now ready to entertain the audience with his next two directorial ventures. While one film is an action drama, the other one is a dramedy with an element of thrill that explores questions of identity in today’s world. Though details about both films are being kept under wraps, they will feature prominent A-list actors and roll within the next 12 months. Beyond Suresh’s directorial films, there is an exciting slate of content in development with young writers and creators.

Suresh Triveni, director and founder of Opening Image, says, “Our vision is to create disruptive stories and provide a platform that encourages young talent to tell their stories. We want to build a community that provides an ecosystem for storytellers to flourish. On my individual front, I am excited to be back in the director’s chair and along with my team offer fresh stories to audiences across the world. The partnership with Abundantia Entertainment and Vikram is growing from strength to strength, and we’re having a great time telling stories together where each one of us brings complimentary skills to the mix.”

Vikram Malhotra, founder and CEO of Abundantia Entertainment, adds, “Suresh and Opening Image are truly building a forward-looking, audience-focused creative community and ecosystem like no other. It’s amazing to see the progress that they have made in such short time and heartening to see the platform that it is providing to upcoming writers and directors. On another note, I am super excited about the shape Suresh’s directorial films are taking. . . unique and entertaining.”
