U.S.-based Red Bison Productions has partnered with Mumbai’s Azure Entertainment on this cross-border film, marking the Indian company’s first Hollywood collaboration, reports Variety.

The yet-untitled project, a global co-production by Mumbai’s Azure Entertainment and U.S.-based Red Bison Productions, combines compelling storytelling with international scope, exploring themes of identity, resilience, and human connection across borders.
