AI Firm Behind India’s ‘Mahabharat’ Series Turns to Indonesian Myth in Cross-Border IP Pact (EXCLUSIVE)
Indian AI company Galleri5 is partnering with Collective Studios’ Historyverse and Indonesia’s Singhasari Special Economic Zone to develop films and series based on Indonesian mythology and history. The venture aims to pair local creative expertise with AI-assisted production tools, helping stories rooted in Indonesia reach wider audiences.
The planned projects span mythology, fantasy, history and animation, with “Echoes of Nusantara” the first concept under discussion. Indonesian creators and cultural specialists will work with Historyverse, which will lead development, production and preparation of intellectual property for potential financing and distribution. Galleri5’s G5 AI Studio combines more than 200 AI models and has been used to make over 10,000 adverts and videos; the company also developed the technology used for India’s “Mahabharat: Ek Dharmayudh”.
In short
- Galleri5 is taking its AI filmmaking tools to Indonesia.
- The partnership will develop stories based on Indonesian mythology and history.
- “Echoes of Nusantara” is the first concept being discussed.
Explained simply
Indonesia has many traditional stories and historical figures that are less familiar to international audiences. “Nusantara” is a term for the Indonesian archipelago and its shared cultural heritage, while the Mahabharat is an ancient Indian epic.
Galleri5 is an Indian company that uses artificial intelligence tools to help make films and other video. Collective Studios’ Historyverse develops screen projects and prepares them for possible financing and distribution. The planned partnership also involves Indonesia’s Singhasari Special Economic Zone and local creators and cultural specialists.
The arrangement brings together Indonesian cultural knowledge and production expertise from India and Historyverse. It matters because the partners aim to adapt Indonesian mythology and history for wider audiences, using AI-assisted tools as part of production.
