Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], March 25 (ANI): Digital entertainment company Kuku, known for platforms including Kuku FM and Kuku TV, has announced its entry into film production with its first Hindi feature film, titled 'Indian Institute of Zombies (IIZ).'

The story has been developed by Kuku's in-house team, while the script is written by Hussain Dalal and Abbas Dalal. The film is directed by Gaganjeet Singh and Alok Dwivedi.

Speaking about the move into films, Kuku CEO Lal Chand Bisu said the company is now looking at theatres as the next step after building a strong base in audio and short-format content.

'We built scale in personal consumption through Kuku FM and created a new microdrama category in India with Kuku TV. Theatres represent the next frontier for us, and we are excited to take our first steps in it. Indian Institute of Zombies marks the first of many projects rooted in youth culture, genre innovation, and mass Indian tastes,' he said in a release.

The film also incorporates artificial intelligence in parts of its development and production process, including planning and creative work. With this project, Kuku is beginning its journey into theatrical films while continuing its work in digital storytelling.
