28 May 2025, National: In a landmark move, Pratilipi, India’s largest digital storytelling platform, has
partnered with the acclaimed production house Roy Kapur Films (RKF), to co-develop and produce a
slate of films and series that leverage Pratilipi’s expansive story universe with RKF’s cinematic vision to
bring authentic Indian narratives to life on screens in India and around the world.

With over 30 million monthly active users, 1.6 million writers, and a catalogue of millions of stories
across 12 Indian languages, Pratilipi has grown exponentially in recent years, transforming from a
grassroots storytelling community into a full-fledged content powerhouse. This vast, language-diverse
ecosystem makes it a fertile ground for discovering new voices and untapped narratives.
Roy Kapur Films, with its strong production expertise, deep industry relationships, and a track record of
producing emotionally resonant, high-quality content, brings its robust creative and execution
capabilities to the table. This partnership between these two creative powerhouses marks a significant
step forward in both companies’ missions to amplify Indian voices and reimagine storytelling for the
screen.

As part of this strategic alliance, Pratilipi and RKF will jointly identify stories from Pratilipi’s platform, coinvest in their development, and collaboratively pitch and produce them for leading studios and
streaming platforms. The goal is to co-produce at least six projects—across films and series—over the
next three years.

The first project to launch under this exciting partnership is Charitraheen, a powerful courtroom drama
that’s already made waves on the Pratilipi app. The story has racked up over 21 million reads, with users
leaving more than 244,000 reviews and giving it an impressive 4.88/5 rating. Now, this explosive tale is
all set to make the leap from page to screen.

Siddharth Roy Kapur, Founder and Managing Director of RKF, said, “At Roy Kapur Films, we’re always
on the lookout for compelling narratives that reflect the many realities and aspirations of India.
Pratilipi’s dynamic ecosystem of storytellers presents an incredible opportunity to unearth and shape
these voices into stories that entertain and move audiences across the world. We’re excited to bring our
creative and production capabilities to this partnership and can’t wait to see these stories come alive on
screen.”

Ranjeet Pratap Singh, Co-Founder and CEO of Pratilipi, added, “At Pratilipi, we’ve always believed that
powerful stories can come from anywhere — a small town, a bustling city, from creators both seasoned
and new. Our goal has always been to give these stories a stage. This partnership with Roy Kapur Films
takes that vision one step further — to the screen. With RKF’s storytelling sensibility and production
strength, we’re not just adapting stories; we’re elevating them for a larger audience. Charitraheen is just
the beginning of what we believe will be a new era in Indian storytelling.”

This collaboration between Pratilipi and Roy Kapur Films represents a unique model — one
where grassroots narratives meet cinematic scale, unlocking powerful, untold voices and setting the
stage for stories that resonate with India’s diverse and discerning audiences across theatrical and digital
platforms.
