AI series on Bhagat Singh in development
What's the story
A new original series on the life of Indian freedom fighter Bhagat Singh is in the works at Collective Studios's Historyverse, reported Variety. The project will be a collaboration with Hathiramani Commercial Ventures and will mark investor and entrepreneur Manish Hathiramani's debut as a producer. Notably, Historyverse was launched to focus on mythological, historical, and heritage-based storytelling by incorporating artificial intelligence (AI). The aim is to make classic narratives more accessible using AI technology.
Concept
Project will explore lesser-known aspects of Singh's life
The series aims to delve deeper into Singh's life beyond the well-known events, focusing on his childhood, intellectual growth, and the socio-political influences that shaped his beliefs.
This exploration will lead to the revolutionary figure whose legacy continues to endure today.
Sudeep Lahiri, head of channels and distribution at Collective Media Network, said, "There are some figures in our history whose stories we think we know completely. Bhagat Singh is one of them."
