katha, a story. ālaya, the home where it is kept.
Stories rooted in this soil, written for today's screen.
We are a Hyderabad story house. License a finished script, commission a new one, or bring us on to direct it with our own crew.
Our traditions are not old stories. They are the ones still keeping us together.
మన మట్టి కథలు, ఈ తరం తెరకు.
Rooted
Every story starts from our culture, our families and our values. We write about the people and places we know, with conviction, not borrowed trends.
Felt, never preached
Cinema has to entertain first. The meaning sits inside the story, so the audience walks out changed without being told to change.
For this generation
Fast, sharp and commercial, built to hold a Gen Z viewer and a whole family in the same seat, in Telugu and for all of India.
