How Amitabh Bachchan & Amish Tripathi are taking Indian mythology global through gaming

Amitabh Bachchan and Amish Tripathi are spearheading a venture to introduce Indian mythology to a global audience through gaming. Tara Gaming, founded by the two, is developing a high-profile, AAA action-adventure game titled "The Age of Bhaarat." This game, currently in the development phase and set for release within a couple of years, aims to bring Indian epics and traditions to life in a dark fantasy setting.

Bachchan, the co-founder, lends his voice to the game's trailer, while Tripathi, the author of the Shiva Trilogy, is responsible for the game's lore. The studio, based in Pune, is currently composed of 85 people, having grown from a small team in just 18 months. The game's development marks a significant shift for the Indian gaming industry, as it is the first AAA title to fully execute and launch a game from ideation to final launch.

The project not only aims to bring Indian stories to the world but also to foster local talent, with the hope that some studio members will go on to create their own companies.
