Mumbai: Collective Studios’ Historyverse has announced a new original series on the life of Bhagat Singh, in association with Hathiramani Commercial Ventures and co-produced by investor and entrepreneur Manish Hathiramani.
The upcoming series will offer a fresh perspective on one of India’s most iconic freedom fighters, focusing on the experiences, influences and ideas that shaped his journey from a young revolutionary to a national figure.
Moving beyond the widely known chapters of Bhagat Singh’s life, the series will explore his childhood, formative experiences, intellectual influences and the social and political environment that shaped his worldview. Set against the backdrop of a changing India in the early 20th century, the narrative will trace the evolution of his ideas and convictions across different stages of his life and examine how they ultimately shaped his enduring legacy.
For Manish Hathiramani, the project marks his debut as a producer and reflects his interest in exploring lesser-known dimensions of Indian history through historically rooted entertainment.
Speaking about the project, Sudeep Lahiri, Head of Channels and Distribution at Collective Media Network, said, “There are some figures in our history whose stories we think we know completely. Bhagat Singh is one of them. But behind the icon was a young man whose ideas, influences and experiences shaped the person he would become. That is the story we are interested in exploring. Having Manish come on board as a co-producer makes this collaboration particularly exciting, because we share a strong belief in finding new perspectives within stories that have already been told many times and bringing them to audiences with scale and ambition.”
Manish Hathiramani, Investor and Entrepreneur, said, “Bhagat Singh is a figure whose life has always fascinated me, but what interests me most is the person before the legend. We know the revolutionary, the freedom fighter and the icon; this series gives us an opportunity to understand the many facets of Bhagat Singh’s life and the journey that shaped him. I am delighted to be producing this project with Historyverse and to bring a fresh perspective on his life and legacy to audiences.”
The series is currently in development, with its title, cast and further details to be announced at a later date.
The project adds to Historyverse’s expanding slate of Indian history and culturally rooted storytelling, which focuses on revisiting significant figures, stories and traditions through contemporary formats and new approaches to storytelling
