RTake Studios, Wunderbar Films team up for Dhanush-led D55
MUMBAI: RTake Studios is stepping firmly into the big league. The production house has partnered with Wunderbar Films on D55, a pan-Indian feature starring Dhanush and directed by Rajkumar Periasamy, marking a high-stakes collaboration built around scale, vision and star power.
Slated for release later this year, the film brings together RTake Studios and Wunderbar Films in a bid to tap India’s fast-expanding national cinema market, with a project positioned as both creatively driven and commercially ambitious.
RTake Studios was founded by Shraddha Agrawal, who produces the film alongside mediapreneur Azmat Jagmag and Wunderbar Films’ Sreyas Srinivasan. Vishwanathan Ramaswamy and Sandesh Agrawal serve as co-producers.
In a joint statement, Shraddha Agrawal and Azmat Jagmag said: “D55 is a project we deeply believe in, both creatively and ambitiously. Collaborating with Wunderbar Films, Dhanush and Rajkumar Periasamy gives us the opportunity to back a story that is bold in vision and rooted in strong storytelling. This film represents the kind of cinema we want to champion — meaningful, large-scale and resonant. We’re proud to bring it to audiences.”
D55 marks RTake Studios’ third feature film, reinforcing the banner’s growing presence in the Indian film industry. With several projects in development, RTake is no longer testing the waters — it is building a slate, making its bets clear and signalling it intends to play for scale.
