- Mayur More and Ashlesha Thakur star in Beta Builder, a hybrid AI and live-action feature set in Mumbai’s Dharavi and directed by InVideo’s Hridaye A. Nagpal.
- Hridaye A. Nagpal, Global Creative Lead at InVideo, is directing Beta Builder, marking his debut as a feature filmmaker with a story centered on a self-taught architect in virtual reality.
- Vikram Malhotra, founder and CEO of Abundantia, confirms Abundantia AiOn has evolved into a standalone AI studio focused on human-first, AI-empowered storytelling.
- Sanket Shah, CEO of InVideo, positions Beta Builder as the realization of the company’s mission to equip storytellers with AI tools at scale, calling it the ideal launch title for the slate.
Why it matters: The ₹100 crore commitment and debut of a fully AI-integrated production model shift how Indian studios can scale creative risk — giving tech-native filmmakers access to studio-level AI infrastructure previously unavailable in the region, while anchoring stories in local geographies like Dharavi.
