The film is the first production venture under Charan and Vikram Reddy’s newly launched banner V Mega Pictures.
Producer Abhishek Agarwal Arts (AAArts) is also attached to The India House project. He co-produced the controversial film The Kashmir Files (2022).
The actor Nikhil Siddhartha was last seen in Karthikeya 2 (2022), which was also produced by Abhishek Agarwal Arts.
Karthikeya 2 collected ₹117.87 crore. It is about a doctor trapped in a web of conspiracies and betrayal. Karthikeya, the doctor, must retrieve a mythological treasure and clear his name.
India House was a student residence that existed between 1905 and 1910 at Cromwell Avenue in Highgate, North London.
With the patronage of lawyer Shyamji Krishna Varma, it was opened to promote nationalist views among Indian students in Britain.
This institute used to grant scholarships to Indian youths for higher studies in England. The building rapidly became a hub for political activism, one of the most prominent for overseas revolutionary Indian nationalism.
“India House” came to informally refer to the nationalist organisations that used the building at various times.
