MUMBAI: Harman Baweja’s Baweja Studios and Sidharth Jain’s House of Talkies have partnered for a three-project deal announced at Mip London, uniting two content-driven Indian production houses, Variety has reported.
Baweja Studios, producer of Zee5’s Mrs.—a reimagining of The Great Indian Kitchen—will collaborate with House of Talkies, the company behind Netflix’s Trial By Fire, which won the Filmfare OTT critics award for best series.
House of Talkies, linked to Jain’s The Story Ink, specialises in book-to-screen adaptations, representing 500+ stories. Baweja Studios’ upcoming projects include Dil Ka Darwaza Kholna Darling, directed by Vikas Bahl (Queen, Super 30), starring Jaya Bachchan, Siddhant Chaturvedi, and Wamiqa Gabbi, along with Boy From Andaman by Delhi Crime creator Richie Mehta and Imagine Entertainment.
“At Baweja Studios, storytelling is a sacred responsibility,” said Baweja. “Trial By Fire showed a fearless voice, and Sidharth ensures stories reach audiences in their most powerful form.”
Jain added, “Baweja Studios crafts films with transcendental power. Our upcoming films and series will explore human conditions while engaging audiences.”
“With The Story Ink ecosystem scaling up, the timing of this collaboration couldn’t be better,” he noted.
