Bal Tanhaji is the first original property launched by Ajay Devgn and Danish Devgn under Lens Vault Studios, officially marking the entertainment company’s entry into AI-powered content creation. The project extends the popular “Unsung Warriors” franchise, which began with the 2020 blockbuster Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior, and transforms it into a generative AI-led narrative designed for evolving digital audiences. Built on the foundation of the theatrical hit, Bal Tanhaji explores new storytelling formats while retaining the emotional and cultural core of the original universe.
The visual development and world-building of Bal Tanhaji are being handled by Prismix Studios, the in-house generative AI and creative technology division of Lens Vault Studios. Prismix is tasked with crafting immersive visuals and environments that merge historical imagination with cutting-edge AI tools, ensuring that the film maintains both authenticity and innovation.

Our focus is on discovering formats and mediums that are still largely untapped, while applying the discipline and scale of mainstream cinema. Bal Tanhaji represents the beginning of this journey into future-ready content creation.” Earlier, this month, Ajay Devgn celebrated six years of his film Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior, which sparked rumours that he might be making a sequel.
