Eros International’s Trinity Pictures to start production of its first slate in FY 2017

Leading Indian studio Eros International's Trinity Pictures, which was set up as India's first and only franchise feature studio in February 2015, is now ready with its first slate of films across new and exciting genres. With a focus on creating fresh concepts in new spaces, Trinity is also the first Bollywood studio in India that has a dedicated in-house team of writers in the 'Trinity Writers' Room' who have created over ten original franchises since the Division's inception, out of which at least four films will go into production in fiscal year 2017.

Trinity's initial lineup includes a range of character-driven franchises across budgets, genres and languages - from a live action elephant film, to a kid's action film and an Indo-China project to name a few. These will be helmed by acclaimed directors from across the country including Kabir Khan, Siddharth Anand, Amole Gupte, Telugu director Krish and popular Tamil director Prabhu Solomon.

The first feature to roll out under Trinity Pictures will be director Amole Gupte's favorite genre but with a difference - a kids action film, a big scale action film with a child secret agent at the centre of the story that will go on floor in the summer vacation. With Trinity's launch, the studio is looking at expanding new film markets which includes opening of one of the biggest markets in the world - China. Two projects will be co-produced with a leading Chinese studio, based on stories organically weaving the socio-cultural worlds of India and China. Additionally, the films will be shot in both the languages.
