“Everything in development and production at AZURE continues to be driven by exciting stories and collaborations, which can facilitate the conversion of Projects under Development into Films under Production. Stories are a great leveler and once all stakeholders get excited with the underlying ideas and the stories, it creates a strong momentum for conversion”, says, Sunir Kheterpal, producer for AZURE Entertainment.
