    Studio Blo gets its Hollywood script with Chad Greulach in the frame

    MUMBAI: Lights, camera… algorithm! India’s Studio Blo, the country’s pioneering AI film studio, is ready to roll on its biggest project yet, a Hollywood partnership with veteran producer Chad Greulach, whose credits stretch across Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime and Discovery.

    Greulach’s cinematic résumé is no small scroll, he’s worked with names that light up marquees and arenas alike: Leonardo DiCaprio, Snoop Dogg, John Legend, Lenny Kravitz, Gene Simmons and Criss Angel, to name a few. Now, he’s stepping into the world of AI storytelling with Studio Blo to craft original entertainment IPs for the American market where human creativity meets machine precision.

    The partnership will see the duo co-develop AI-powered stories and content for studios, music labels, channels and brands, while also expanding Faimous, Studio Blo’s AI-led celebrity IP engine into Hollywood. The move aims to merge AI’s creative horsepower with star-driven storytelling, opening new frontiers in how celebrity and content intersect.

    For Studio Blo, the announcement marks another bold step in a journey that’s already caught global attention. Its current slate includes “Warlord”, an AI-generated TV series co-produced with acclaimed filmmaker Shekhar Kapur, which explores the emotional and philosophical edges of AI and human imagination.

    “Our collaboration with Chad marks a defining moment in our journey where India will make stories for the world,” said Studio Blo co-founder and CEO Dipankar Mukherjee. “We’re using our proprietary AI tech stack as a creative collaborator with the finest global talent. Chad’s expertise will help us craft AI-first stories that are emotionally rich, visually stunning and globally resonant.”

    Greulach, for his part, sees the partnership as the future in motion. “The future of entertainment lies at the crossroads of technology and creativity, and Studio Blo is right at that intersection,” he said. “Dipankar and his team aren’t just experimenting, they’re reimagining storytelling itself. Together, we’ll build entertainment IPs that fuse human artistry with machine intelligence to captivate audiences everywhere.”

    As AI reshapes every frame of the creative process from script to screen Studio Blo is positioning itself as India’s breakout player in the global AI entertainment ecosystem, proving that the next big Hollywood story might just be coded in India.

    With this alliance, Studio Blo isn’t just crossing continents, it’s blurring the line between imagination and innovation, showing that in the world of film, even intelligence can be artificial but emotion never is.
     

  • AI storm brews as Studio Blo films fashion in a whole new dimension

    AI storm brews as Studio Blo films fashion in a whole new dimension

    MUMBAI: When fashion meets philosophy in the middle of a sandstorm, you know something otherworldly is at play. Studio Blo, the next-gen content studio pushing the limits of AI-driven filmmaking, has dropped a 100 per cent AI-generated film for the Almost Gods × Fila collection blurring lines between fantasy, sport, and storytelling.

    The high-concept short, live on Youtube and Instagram, unfolds during a rare celestial event where three cloaked figures summon a sweeping sandstorm. Each figure wears pieces from the new collection, which reimagines Fila’s clay-court tennis heritage through Almost Gods’ brutalist aesthetic, laced with mysticism and elemental power.

    In a striking industry first, real fashion models were digitally cloned, with every garment and accessory rendered entirely in AI, no physical shoot, no stitched seams, just crafted pixels with the gravitas of a full-scale cinematic production. Months of prep went into the project, with seasoned cinematographers, creative directors, and AI artists at the helm.

    Studio Blo co-founder & CEO Dipankar Mukherjee set the record straight: “AI films aren’t quick and cheap. This took months, not minutes, because pedigree demands time, talent, and vision. Almost Gods treated us as true creative partners, and that made all the difference.”

    Studio Blo Co-Founder & CCO Rishabh Suri added: “AI gave us the canvas to make a metaphysical thriller in fashion form. Traditional production would’ve struggled with the sheer scale and spectacle. Here, we created something immersive and emotionally resonant, where philosophy and symbolism flow seamlessly into couture.”

    Studio Blo, staffed by veterans from VFX giants like Dneg and MPC, has already delivered showstoppers for Warner Music, YRF Films, Dentsu, and Nykaa. This film cements its mission: AI is not a shortcut, but a collaborator expanding fashion’s stage into realms once thought impossible.

    With the Almost Gods × Fila collection, sport-luxury isn’t just walking the runway; it’s conjuring storms.

  • AI on reel duty as Studio Blo crafts Emirates NBD ads with human touch

    AI on reel duty as Studio Blo crafts Emirates NBD ads with human touch

    MUMBAI: When the camera says “AI-ction,” you don’t expect it to tug at your heartstrings. Yet Studio Blo’s latest campaign for Emirates NBD proves that artificial intelligence can roll out films that feel anything but artificial. The next-gen content studio has unveiled three fully AI-generated ads for the MENAT banking giant, each scripted by Liwa.Content Driven and realised entirely within Studio Blo’s proprietary AI pipeline. But instead of flashy montages, the films weave cinematic narratives with human warmth.

    One of the campaign’s centrepieces is a business banking story about entrepreneurs finding strength in personalised support and remote convenience. The other two are hard-hitting anti-fraud PSAs that use a domino-effect metaphor reminding viewers that ignoring scams doesn’t stop them, it only leaves the next person vulnerable.

    Behind the tech sheen is an insistence on old-school craft. “Making a bad film was always easy. So is it with AI,” quipped Studio Blo co-founder and CEO Dipankar Mukherjee. “If you don’t invest in the human craft, the machine will end up making something mediocre.” He credited the production designers, cinematographers, and directors who elevated the campaign.

    Liwa.Content Driven director Sagar Rege added that the aim was not to dazzle but to move: “Most AI films today are montages. With these ads, we wanted to push the technology to tell a story.”

    Studio Blo itself is built on a marriage of filmmaking veterans alumni of DNeg and MPC and AI-first workflows. Its client list already boasts Warner Music, YRF Films, Dentsu, and Nykaa. With Emirates NBD, the studio signals a future where AI isn’t replacing creativity but collaborating with it helping brands tell smarter, faster, and infinitely ambitious stories.

  • AI, aye Captain, Shekhar Kapur to steer Studio Blo’s ethical vision

    AI, aye Captain, Shekhar Kapur to steer Studio Blo’s ethical vision

    MUMBAI: In a plot twist worthy of his own films, Shekhar Kapur has boarded the AI express, this time not behind the camera, but at the helm of innovation. The celebrated director has been named chairperson of the Board of AI Ethics & Creative Stewardship at Studio Blo, a move that fuses reel-life mastery with real-time tech.

    Studio Blo, the next-gen content studio making waves with AI-powered filmmaking, is counting on Kapur to lead the charge as it navigates the tricky intersection of creativity, culture, ethics, and artificial intelligence.

    Commenting on his appointment, Shekhar Kapur said, “AI is not here to replicate the past it’s here to create entirely new forms of cinematic expression. I believe AI films will soon stand as a genre of their own, unbound by traditional definitions of cinema. Studio Blo is doing some of the most cutting-edge work I’ve seen globally, and I’m excited to shape a future where imagination is limitless, and technology is the brush.”

    And if anyone can lend gravitas to that future, it’s the man behind Elizabeth, Bandit Queen, and Mr. India. With a Padma Bhushan, a BAFTA, and a shelf full of national and international accolades, Kapur brings not just credibility but a cinematic sensibility that’s both visionary and deeply human.

    Studio Blo, meanwhile, isn’t just dabbling in AI, it’s diving in head-first. With collaborators ranging from Warner Music and YRF Films to Dentsu and Nykaa, the studio is rewriting the rules of filmmaking, blending old-school craft with cutting-edge AI workflows.

    Studio Blo co-founder and CEO Dipankar Mukherjee said, “Shekhar Kapur’s association with Studio Blo is both an honour and a powerful validation of our vision to disrupt content production and filmmaking through AI. His mentorship will not only guide our global expansion but will also help us invent a bold new grammar of storytelling, one where AI becomes a co-creator of cinematic experiences rather than just a tool.”

    With Kapur now in the director’s chair of ethics and imagination, Studio Blo’s script just got a lot more exciting and perhaps even Oscar-worthy.
