Creativeland Studios Entertainment Ropes in Amish Tripathi, Unveils ‘Shri Radha Ramanam,’ a Global Epic on Lord Krishna (EXCLUSIVE)

As a lifelong connoisseur of cinema, steeped in the rich tapestry of global film history, I must say that the news of “Shri Radha Ramanam” has piqued my interest significantly. Having spent years immersing myself in the tales and teachings of ancient India, I can attest to the timeless appeal and universal resonance of the stories surrounding Lord Krishna.


CreativeLand Studios Entertainment plans to share the story of Hindu deity Lord Krishna on a worldwide platform through their upcoming venture, “Shri Radha Ramanam.”

As a lifelong student and admirer of Indian mythology, I am thrilled by the news of the India-U.K.-U.S. collaboration to share the captivating tale of Krishna’s love with global audiences. This venture, led by C. Sajan Raj Kurup and bestselling author Amish Tripathi, promises an exciting blend of traditional stories with contemporary sensibilities.

The movie, often referred to as a “fantastical story,” was written by authors Prakash Kapadia and Raam Mori, after they spent two years meticulously verifying facts from various scriptures and literature.

Shobha Sant, head of Creativeland Studios Entertainment, oversees the team working on our current project. We’ve brought together seasoned professionals in the field, such as Hardik Gajjar, a specialist in mythology who directed the series “Siya Ke Ram” (2015-16). He will be directing this time around. Ayananka Bose, renowned for his recent cinematography work on movies like “Satyaprem Ki Katha” (2023) and “Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar” (2023), will handle the camera duties.

The film’s visual effects will be a collaborative effort between studios in Vancouver, Los Angeles, and Mumbai, tasked with recreating ancient Vrindavan, Barsana and Dwarka. Pre-production and VFX asset creation are already underway, with principal photography scheduled to begin in November. The worldwide theatrical release is slated for February 2026.

The London-based affiliate of Creativeland Studios Entertainment, known as Creators Inc, plans to utilize its knowledge in content selection for global audiences in the production of “Shri Radha Ramanam.” Creators Inc has recently achieved success with the sale of their documentary “The Commandant’s Shadow” to Warner Bros. and HBO, who have also given it a broad theatrical release.

In the United States, Creativeland Studios Entertainment’s Artist International Group (AIG) will manage representation for David Unger’s project “Shri Radha Ramanam”. Negotiations are currently ongoing with prominent exhibitors, aiming for one of the broadest U.S. releases ever for an Indian film. This venture signifies a crucial move in Creativeland Studios Entertainment’s global expansion strategy, as they have recently partnered with AIG to promote Indian talent globally.

In Hindu religion, Lord Krishna, who is considered the eighth manifestation of the god Vishnu, holds a significant position. He is famed not only for his role in the ancient Indian tale called “Mahabharata” but also as the divine narrator of the “Bhagavad Gita.” Typically portrayed as a captivating and complex deity, Krishna has long been a creative catalyst for Indian art, literature, and culture. His tales, especially his love story with Radha, have served as an influential wellspring for centuries.

At Creativeland Studios Entertainment, our objective is to share tales from India on a worldwide platform. And what could be more fitting than retelling the timeless tale of Lord Krishna’s love? After all, as the saying goes, in challenging times, love serves as the most powerful language for healing hearts. The story of Lord Krishna embodies compassion, love, and protection, resonating with audiences worldwide. It is truly inspiring to work with Amish and our dedicated global team, who are passionately bringing this project to fruition.

Tripathi stated: “Indian folktales offer a rich tapestry of wisdom and delight, guiding us towards living better lives. What draws me to this film’s script isn’t merely its grandeur and thoroughness, but also its thoughtful examination of love as portrayed in the tale of Lord Krishna. This movie promises to become the epitome of Indian love stories, a love story among love stories, destined to captivate global audiences.”
