2 min readDhruva Sarja’s upcoming film Martin, directed by AP Arjun, is poised to make a significant impact on the international stage. Initially planned as a pan-India release, the film is now set to debut simultaneously in over 13 languages worldwide on October 11, marking a notable advancement in the Indian film industry.
Producer Uday Mehta highlighted the film’s global ambitions, explaining that “Instead of the traditional approach where pan-India films would release internationally several months later, Martin aims for a coordinated global launch. The film will be released in Kannada, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Hindi, with additional releases planned in Bengali, Arabic, Bangla, Japanese, Chinese, Russian, and Spanish”.
This film will also be released in Dubai in five Indian languages, with potential Arabic and Spanish releases in South America. Recognizing the popularity of Indian cinema in Russia, the team is exploring opportunities for releases in both Russian and Chinese. This initiative represents an unprecedented move in Indian cinema, aiming to capitalize on new international markets.
The makers of Martin are set to launch the film’s trailer in Mumbai on August 5, showcasing it in 13 languages to an international media audience. Prior to this, the Kannada version of the trailer will debut on August 4 at Veeresh Theatres, available for a fee.
Dhruva Sarja is confident that Martin will appeal to a global audience. He notes that while many films today are marketed as pan-India, “Martin is poised to reach beyond linguistic boundaries.” He adds, “It’s an action-packed entertainer with dramatic elements that make it universally appealing.”
The cast includes Vaibhavi Shandilya, Anveshi Jain, Sukrutha Wagle, Achyuth Kumar, and Nikitin Dheer. The film features cinematography by Satya Hegde and music by Ravi Basrur.
