Pratilipi and Roy Kapur Films join hands to co-develop and produce films, series

Pratilipi has partnered with production house Roy Kapur Films (RKF) to co-develop and produce a slate of films and series.

As part of this strategic alliance, Pratilipi and RKF will jointly identify stories from Pratilipi’s platform, co-invest in their development, and collaboratively pitch and produce them for leading studios and streaming platforms. The goal is to co-produce at least six projects—across films and series—over the next three years.

The first project to launch under this exciting partnership is Charitraheen, a powerful courtroom drama that’s already made waves on the Pratilipi app. The story has racked up over 21 million reads, with users leaving more than 244,000 reviews and giving it an impressive 4.88/5 rating. Now, this explosive tale is all set to make the leap from page to screen.

Siddharth Roy Kapur, Founder and Managing Director of RKF, said, “At Roy Kapur Films, we’re always on the lookout for compelling narratives that reflect the many realities and aspirations of India. Pratilipi’s dynamic ecosystem of storytellers presents an incredible opportunity to unearth and shape these voices into stories that entertain and move audiences across the world. We’re excited to bring our creative and production capabilities to this partnership and can’t wait to see these stories come alive on screen.”

Ranjeet Pratap Singh, Co-Founder and CEO of Pratilipi, added, “At Pratilipi, we've always believed that powerful stories can come from anywhere — a small town, a bustling city, from creators both seasoned and new. Our goal has always been to give these stories a stage. This partnership with Roy Kapur Films takes that vision one step further — to the screen. With RKF’s storytelling sensibility and production strength, we’re not just adapting stories; we’re elevating them for a larger audience. Charitraheen is just the beginning of what we believe will be a new era in Indian storytelling.”
