India’s Abundantia Entertainment and AI video technology company InVideo have announced a strategic partnership to launch an AI-driven film production studio backed by an investment of INR 100 million ($11 million). The companies are calling this the largest structured commitment to date for AI-driven film production in India.
The deal was unveiled at the India AI Film Festival held at the Qutub Minar in New Delhi on the sidelines of the India AI Impact Summit 2026. The festival is hosted by InVideo and sponsored by Nvidia.
Under the partnership, the companies will develop and produce five AI-powered films over the next three years, and use the joint corpus to finance development and production. The collaboration will take place through aiON, Abundantia’s artificial intelligence-focused division. aiON leverages InVideo’s generative video technology to reimagine the way films are conceptualized, developed, and produced.
“AI in filmmaking is now a reality,” said Vikram Malhotra, founder and CEO of Abundantia Entertainment. “From sound to color to digital, all the great leaps forward in film have expanded the possibilities for storytelling. AI represents the next inflection point. Abundantia With aiON, we are building a future where AI enhances and amplifies the filmmaker’s voice, rather than replacing it. Our partnership with InVideo allows us to design a forward-looking creative studio that brings together human imagination, authorship, and intelligence to create emotionally resonant and technologically groundbreaking stories.”
Sanket Shah, InVideo’s founder and CEO, positioned the partnership as an extension of the company’s democratizing mission. “By partnering with a leading studio like Abundantia Entertainment, we are able to extend this capability into the world of high-quality filmmaking by building tools and workflows that allow creators to move from idea to cinematic expression faster and more freely than ever before. This doesn’t just mean automation, it means accelerating and enhancing creativity.”
InVideo counts Tiger Global and Peak XV (formerly Sequoia Capital India) among its backers, has a user base of over 50 million people in over 190 countries, and claims to have raised over $50 million in venture funding. The company recently announced a collaboration with Google Cloud to develop AI-powered film production tools, including an enterprise-grade production pipeline for studios, broadcasters, advertising agencies, and major production companies.
On the Abundantia side, the partnership builds on the studio’s aiON division, which is already developing two AI-driven features: ‘Chiranjeevi Hanuman’ and ‘Jai Santoshi Mata: Sukh Sampatti Daata’ produced in partnership with the Collective Artist Network and scheduled for release in 2026.
Founded in 2013 by Mr. Malhotra, former COO of Viacom18 Motion Pictures, Abundantia has produced films such as ‘Baby’, ‘Airlift’, ‘Toilet – Ek Prem Katha’, ‘Shakuntala Devi’, ‘Sherni’, ‘Jalsa’, ‘Ram Setu’, ‘Sukhi’, as well as Amazon Originals. It has built a track record across theatrical and streaming productions, including the series Breathe and its productions. successors. The studio’s latest release is the Prime Video crime drama series ‘Daldal’ starring Bhumi Pednekar.
