MUMBAI: Content knows no borders and neither do these storytellers. In a bold cinematic handshake that spans continents, Movieverse Studios, IN10 Media Network’s content arm has inked a global alliance with UAE-based Beacon Media to turbocharge stories from the Global South for a global audience of over three billion. The goal? A borderless entertainment ecosystem powered by co-creation and cultural exchange from India to Latin America, Africa to the Middle East.

“Our vision is global storytelling without fences,” said Movieverse Studios CEO Vivek Krishnani who promised a slate that embraces Malayalam feature films, micro-series for Instagram Reels and Tiktok, and even adaptations of Deepak Chopra’s bestselling fiction. “The Global South is bursting with stories that deserve a global stage and we’re building that bridge.”

This isn’t just lip service. Among the first projects are a Malayalam-language feature and a wave of digital-first series aimed at next-gen viewers, alongside a premium slate of films and web shows under active development. With this, IN10 is aiming not just for reach but resonance.

Beacon Media, helmed by chairman Manoj Narender Madnani, dubbed the alliance “1+1=11 in action,”a nod to how collaboration between legacy platforms and new-age players can create outsized impact. “This isn’t about competing,” he said. “It’s about multiplying reach and cultural capital.”

The collaboration leverages deepening cultural and investment ties between India, Saudi Arabia and the UAE countries fast becoming central to the global entertainment and tech conversation. It also ropes in big industry names: Beacon’s Arabic production arm works with Fadi Ismail, the former MBC Group drama director, while acclaimed writer Manini Priyan has been appointed head of content for Beacon’s original programming.

“This is about future-proof storytelling,” said IN10 Media Network MD Aditya Pittie. “We’re blending Hollywood-grade scale with deeply rooted Indian storytelling. This is not just an alliance, it’s a movement.”

With content categories ranging from short-form social storytelling to high-budget features, and formats ready to travel across languages and regions, the IN10-Beacon alliance is poised to become a game-changer in reshaping the global entertainment map from the Global South to screens worldwide.
