Hollywood filmmaker Timur Bekmambetov has partnered with Reliance Entertainment and Sharad Devarajan's Graphic India to produce a slate of Hindi films. Timur will bring his Screenlife filmmaking format to India through Hindi language productions.

The Russian origin director who is known for films such as "Wanted" (2008), "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter" (2012), and "Night Watch" (2004), will develop a slate of original local language films leveraging the Screenlife genre in India with his other two partners.



In the first phase of the new partnership, Bekmambetov and Sharad Devarajan of Graphic India will be working closely with Reliance Entertainment on the development and production of the three films by up-and-coming Indian filmmakers and storytellers. The first project has been finalized and is expected to go into production early next year.

The Screenlife movie format is one where the story unfolds as seen on the screens of devices such as smartphones and computers. The format made a massive breakthrough in 2015 when Bekmambetov produced "Unfriended". The film grossed $65 million worldwide with a budget of $1 million. He followed that up with his 2018 thriller production, "Searching".
