In today’s scenario, disruptive ideas can be promoted, fearless new voices can be amplified, and cinema that resonates across the country can be presented by mainstream studios. This approach defines Wild Pictures. At the studio, the story remains the central focus, guiding its creative choices.
In 2025, this approach resulted in two films from Vikas Studios, which received strong responses from both media and audiences, as well as widespread conversation.
The Malayalam film Rontha marked Junglee’s first venture into regional storytelling. Directed by acclaimed writer-director Shahi Kabir, Rontha stars Dileesh Pothan and Roshan Mathew in the lead roles. The story unfolds the emotional maze of two night patrol officers caught between duty, politics and the shadow of their past decisions.
Junglee’s Hindi theatrical release this year was the interesting courtroom drama Haq, directed by Suparn S. Verma and starring Yami Gautam Dhar and Emraan Hashmi. The film highlighted the delicate interplay between personal law and secular law, offering a fascinating glimpse of women empowerment, equal rights and justice for all Indians.
Dayara, directed by Meghna Gulzar, who joins this compelling action in 2026, is a provocative and entertaining exploration of the eternal tension between crime and punishment.
Junglee Pictures, a leading Bollywood development studio, has backed projects that address a number of social themes and narratives. Rather than operating on a volume-based model, the studio operates as a self-funded entity with a focus on creative development at the core of its filmmaking process. The studio takes a selective approach to investing time and resources in project acquisition, script and development phase. This emphasis on early development enables Wild Pictures to maintain consistency in writing and structure across its films, while balancing creative intent with commercial considerations.
Speaking about the evolution of their collaboration with Junglee Pictures, Dr. Jayantilal Gada, Chairman and Founder, Pen Studios, said, “My association with Junglee Pictures started with distribution collaboration and has now moved into the co-producer realm. What truly sets Junglee apart is their unwavering belief in strong scripts and content-driven cinema, which is reflected in films like Haq, Badhaai Ho, Badhaai Do, Talwar and Raazi. Pen Studios We share this philosophy that we have championed in story-based films like Gangubai Kathiawadi, Kahaani and RRR, and look forward to building meaningful collaborations rooted in powerful storytelling.
On collaborating with a studio that highly values its writers, Reshu Nath, writer of Haq, says, “A script truly comes to life when it is backed by producers who deeply respect the written word, and that is what I have experienced with Junglee Pictures. They maintain exceptionally strong writing standards and invest months in developing content they truly believe in. Haq was set up exactly as it was envisioned.” His belief in what he creates is unwavering, and it is reflected in the way the film connected with both the audience and the audience.” Critic. I am grateful to collaborate with a studio like Junglee Pictures which has put story and content above everything else from the very beginning.”
This approach has helped the studio earn long-term trust from writers, directors and actors who value a collaborative, creator-first environment. As a result, Wild Pictures films consistently resonate with the cultural moment, fueling conversation while building enduring audience loyalty. Over the years, Junglee Pictures has built a bold and impressive filmography including Talwar (2015), Badhaai Ho (2018), Raazi (2018), Badhaai Do (2022), and Doctor G (2022), consistently turning unconventional narratives into both critical and commercial successes.
With a passionate team driven by a deep love for cinema and a mission to create transformative narratives, the studio is not just producing films, it is shaping the culture, conversation and the future of Indian filmmaking.
