Eros Innovation, an arm of Eros International, has announced a major content slate built around three initiatives - Eros Brahmand, a new mythology-inspired cinematic universe; Eros Universe, which expands some of Indian cinema's most loved titles into new franchise stories; and Eros Remastered, a program aimed at reintroducing classic films to a new generation.
The announcement was made at the London Tech Week on Wednesday. Eros Universe involves the continuation of six big titles as a franchise with new characters and stories. The lineup includes Tanu Weds Manu - The Next Chapter, Phobia, English Vinglish, Desi Boyz, Rangeela and Tere Naam.
This means that while Tere Naam will get a spiritual sequel, Salman Khan is unlikely to return as Radhe. Similarly, Aamir Khan and Urmila Matondkar may not be a part of the Rangeela sequel.
The most curious among these is Tanu Weds Manu - The Next Chapter. The series has seen two films already, both starring Kangana Ranaut and R Madhavan as the titular characters. It is uncertain if the two actors will return.
Eros Brahmand, an AI-led mythology-based cinematic universe comprising nine original titles, is the headlining initiative. The slate announcement revealed these titles were: Nandi - War of Kailasa, Dwaarka: Gateway to the Universe, Vimaan Wars, Mahabharat 5000 A.D., Yakshinis, Brahmarakshak, Garuda, Kumbhayanna and Mansa Devi.
The production house's third initiative, Eros Remastered, will focus on restoring and reimagining some known titles. It will begin with Kochadaiyan, India's first motion-capture feature film which starred Rajinikanth.
