Kuku, known for its strong foothold in India’s digital entertainment space through audio and short-form video content, is making its debut in theatrical filmmaking with Indian Institute of Zombies, a Hindi horror-comedy set to release in cinemas on May 8, reports Variety.
“Indian Institute of Zombies is a film for everyone who has ever been on a college campus,” said Kunj Sanghvi, senior VP at Kuku. “We hope our audiences get to experience their adventurous and brave side as they watch this hilarious film on zombies.”
The film unfolds on an elite engineering campus, weaving together zombie horror, youth comedy and social satire.
Kuku is positioning it as a genre first for Indian cinema, with the theatrical setting central to its strategy – the company sees the communal big-screen experience as distinct from, rather than an extension of, its existing digital offerings.
The ensemble cast includes Jessie Lever, Anupriya Goenka, Mohan Kapur, Ranjan Raj, Shivani Paliwal, Shantanu Anam, Rose Sardana, Sachin Kavetham, and Tanishq Chaudhary, among others.
The screenplay was written by Hussain Dalal and Abbas Dalal, whose previous credits include Brahmāstra: Part One – Shiva and Farzi.
Direction is by Gaganjeet Singh and Alok Dwivedi of Low Gravity Productions, a team with a background in streaming series and ad films.
