For the first time a social foundation and a school have come together on a same platform combining their synergies to create a very unique entertaining educational session on the very important issue of road safety for children who are the “Future road users”. The messaging of the day was that all of us forget about the best behavior practices while on road. The mundane issue of road safety was communicated to the children in the most innovative and entertaining manner using films as a medium to bring about behavior change among children towards road safety so as to reduce the rate of accidents and make it a social movement.
More than 400 children from Chiranjiv Bharati School participated in the program and took the pledge to carry the initiative forward by forming road safety clubs in school and making their own original films on the issue.
Roses chairman Subodh Lal conducted an interactive road safety educational session with students and urged them to become responsible for not on Family’s safety but to create awareness and adopt safe road behavior practices.
The program was given an opening with CineArt educational workshop which was followed by a theatre on road safety and Film making session by filmmakers.
On the occasion, PVR VP – CSR Deepa Menon said, “At PVR Nest, we are continuously looking at addressing core social issues that affect the community we live in and thus uphold our commitment towards urban sustainability. We are extremely happy to use our spaces and partner with Chiranjiv Bharati School to create education and action on this very important issue of children’s and family health and nutrition using the innovative mediums of films.”
Lal added, “Roses has always strived to not only create awareness on Road safety but also aims at creating a mindset and a behavioral change amongst youth. We are happy to partner with PVR Nest and Chiranjiv Bharati School for an enriching session and assist the children in learning about road safety.”

Kayhan Entertainment shifts focus to original IP creation
New studio founded by VFX veterans aims to build globally scalable Indian stories.
MUMBAI: India’s VFX talent has long helped Hollywood create blockbusters now a new studio wants to write the stories as well as the special effects. Kayhan Entertainment Private Limited is entering its next phase of growth as a next-generation storytelling studio focused on creating original intellectual property for global audiences. Founded by Dalbir Singh and Arushi Govil, the studio blends strong storytelling with world-class VFX and CGI across films, television, advertising and digital platforms.
While India has established itself as a global hub for VFX and animation services, Kayhan is making a strategic shift from pure execution to IP ownership. The studio aims to move beyond project-based work and develop culturally rooted content designed to travel internationally, while remaining open to strategic collaborations.
Dalbir Singh, with over 15 years of experience in VFX and filmmaking, has contributed to major global productions including Avengers: Endgame, Zack Snyder’s Justice League and Venom. He leads creative direction at Kayhan. Arushi Govil brings deep production expertise from leading studios such as MPC, Framestore and DNEG, having worked on Tenet, Mission: Impossible – Fallout and Brahmastra.
A key milestone for the studio was the launch of its first IP, Chote Tara Ka Bada Gadar, on Kids Zee in 2025. Kayhan is now expanding its slate with FAB 5, an original animated series that combines action, humour and emotional storytelling while promoting teamwork, courage and kindness. The fast-paced episodic format is positioned for long-term franchise potential across platforms.
Dalbir Singh, Co-Founder, said the studio’s primary focus is building an IP-led creative enterprise, while remaining open to the right collaborations. Arushi Govil, Co-Founder, added: “As we scale, our focus is on building the right mix of talent and capability… At Kayhan, we are investing in people as much as we are in IP, bringing together global experience and emerging creators to build stories that can compete at an international level.”
Looking ahead, Kayhan plans to evolve into a broader IP-led ecosystem spanning media, consumer products, education, talent development and immersive experiences such as AR and VR. The studio also intends to establish an IP incubator and develop transmedia storytelling formats.
From blockbuster VFX credits to building its own story universe, Kayhan Entertainment is stepping into the spotlight with a clear ambition, to create Indian IP that doesn’t just shine on screen, it travels the world.
