Arriving six years after the landmark success of Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior, Bal Tanhaji takes audiences deeper into the universe, exploring uncharted territory and expanding the narrative canvas beyond conventional Bollywood content creation. With this launch, Lens Vault Studios positions itself at the forefront of cinematic universe-building that extends well beyond theatrical releases.

For Ajay Devgn, the launch of Lens Vault Studios represents a vision that goes beyond traditional cinema. The focus is on building long-format IPs and diverse content—both fiction and non-fiction—designed for evolving audience preferences across digital-first platforms.
Speaking about the new show, Ajay Devgn, Chairman, Lens Vault Studios, said: “Our vision with Lens Vault Studios goes beyond high-end production values.
