Jio Studios and Collective Studios’ Historyverse today unveiled the global first teaser of Krishna, an upcoming theatrical feature directed by Manu Anand, at the NAB Show 2026 in Las Vegas. At the heart of Krishna lies a new cinematic pipeline developed by Galleri5, Collective Artists Network’s in-house AI platform, built on Microsoft Azure’s advanced AI and cloud capabilities. This collaboration brings together cutting-edge technology with Jio Studios’ scale, storytelling expertise, and commitment to creating globally resonant Indian content.
The film’s first look and Collective Artists Network’s AI platform were featured in Microsoft’s keynote at NAB, “Powering Intelligent Media; From AI Experimentation to Real-World Impact.” Collective was highlighted as a leading Frontier organization that is moving AI beyond experimentation into real, production-scale deployment in cinema. The technology is also featured in Microsoft’s NAB booth (West Hall, Booth W1731).
Krishna represents a departure from traditional VFX- or animation-led filmmaking. Instead, it is built on an AI-native production pipeline where technology is integrated into the core of the filmmaking process, from world-building and character systems to shot design and final output, while remaining guided by a director-led, cinematic approach to storytelling.

Collective Artists Network runs its Galleri5 platform natively on Microsoft Azure, using Microsoft Foundry and advanced AI infrastructure to support end-to-end, production grade workflows across film, episodic, and advertising content. By operating in a secure, enterprise cloud environment, Galleri5 puts the power back in the hands of creators, allowing filmmakers to use AI …read more
