Collective Artists Network today unveiled its first content slate, aimed at bringing India’s vast and layered history to the screen through deeply researched narratives and contemporary storytelling techniques.

The slate comprises eight history-inspired titles spanning theatrical films and web series, marking the first major release under Collective Studios, the company’s newly launched unified content studio that integrates original storytelling across its platforms.

Positioned as India’s largest history-inspired slate, the lineup draws inspiration from figures, eras, and cultural traditions that have shaped the subcontinent over centuries. The slate includes stories inspired by Hanuman, Krishna, Shiva, Shivaji, Durga, Kali, and Swami Samarth. The already released Mahabharat series serves as the starting point for HistoryVerse’s broader vision, illustrating how historically rooted narratives can be adapted for modern screens.

Among the newly announced projects, three are being developed as theatrical films, while two are set to take the form of web series, with additional titles currently in various stages of development. From the earliest stages of writing to the final visual execution, every layer is meticulously crafted to build scale, detail, and immersion, allowing these stories to unfold with a richness and scope rarely attempted before.

Speaking about the slate, Founder and Group CEO of Collective Artists Network, Vijay Subramaniam, said, “I’ve always believed that our folklore is among the richest in the world, and that these stories, woven into the core of our cultural fabric, deserve a global stage. As HistoryVerse grows, our vision goes beyond films and series to include experiences, consumer brands, and gaming; building a larger ecosystem around these stories for audiences to engage with.”

With this announcement, HistoryVerse under Collective Studios reinforces Collective Artists Network’s commitment to creating a long-term storytelling platform dedicated to Indian history-inspired narratives, designed to resonate with audiences across generations and geographies.
