DISCOP Johannesburg Spotlight: One Life Studios

King Porus, an iconic ruler of ancient India, defends his motherland against Alexander the Great in One Life Studios’ Porus, the first Indian series licensed by Hulu Japan.

Another costume drama in the company’s catalog, Chandragupta Maurya tells the story of a boy and a teacher who band together to unite India against foreign invaders and protect it from King Dhananand of the Nanda Dynasty.

“Costume dramas have always attracted audiences and broadcasters because of their elaborate sets, costumes and empowering storylines,” says Rahul Kumar Tewary, producer and managing director. “We at One Life Studios have been making our mark on the global world map with the syndication of our shows like Porus and Chandragupta Maurya.”

The fantasy revenge drama Phir Laut Aayi Naagin tackles themes of love, loss and reincarnation.

“We are committed to being the one destination for all global players,” Tewary adds.
