Chandigarh, July 9
Production house Brewing Thoughts Pvt Ltd recently announced theShaktimaan film trilogy and now it has decided to reboot Captain Vyom. Created by filmmaker Ketan Mehta, the original sci-fi show features Milind Sonam as a superhero. The show aired on Doordarshan in the late 1990s. Ketan Mehta himself confirmed that the space superhero Captain Vyom will make a comeback in a modern avatar.
In a report by Pinkvilla, Ketan Mehta confirmed the news. He said, ““I am really excited. For me, Captain Vyom is an Indian-origin superhero for a global audience. And it’s time to reinvent when India is dreaming of its space in the new century. I am looking forward to our partnership with BTPL to take Vyom forward into the millennium. I hope and wish that this superhero flies to newer heights and distant lands. This franchise, with an intergalactic space adventure at its heart, can also be a perfect platform to showcase the best of VFX and CGI talent of our country.”
There are also plans to take inspiration from Hollywood sci-fi space dramas such as Stark Trek, Star Wars and Guardians of the Galaxy series. The BTPL production house have already received some offers from top studios and OTT platforms for co-production deals.
Film journalist-turned-producer Prashant Singh, who is the co-founder of Brewing Thoughts Pvt Ltd, added, “It’s a big challenge and a huge responsibility to attempt something like this, especially in India but we are keeping our fingers crossed. It’s possibly the best time to attempt a space/sci-fi superhero adventure in our country. Also, it feels great that we are reliving our childhood days – of the 90s – through our planned adaptations of hit Doordarshan shows such as Shaktimaan and Captain Vyom etc.”
They are also in the process of finalising the cast for the reloaded Captain Vyom and the makers say they are in conversation with some young A-list actors who are keen to play the superhero.
