The company aims to be the pioneer of digital content production and will produce, market and distribute around 20 movies every year completely through the digital medium, supported by specialized and innovative digital technology workflows. Weaving Magic is the result of the convergence of ambitious media professionals with long term strategic vision and creative talent with a fresh and innovative outlook towards the movie business. Weaving Magic has already initiated a content tie up with fiction writer Surendra Mohan Pathak.

In addition, significant emphasis in Marketing and Distribution will ensure that our projects have the best shot at success. But operating at scale is key to successful achievement of our vision.”

Surendra Mohan Pathak said, “The Weaving Magic team are first and foremost true fans of the Vimal series and understand the spirit of my stories really well. I am confident that they will be able to do justice to my life’s best work.”
The first project under the Weaving Magic Banner is a 3D supernatural thriller titled ‘3D – Dreams Don’t Die’. Shooting for this movie has already commenced and the project is expected to be released by February 2012.
