About Yodha Motion Pictures
Our Story
Founded in 2011, Yodha Motion Pictures was started by Surrya Menen and Ranjan Shetty, friends with a passion for storytelling. After facing multiple rejections to secure funding for their first film, the founders of Yodha went ahead and funded, wrote, produced and theatrically released a feature film in the meagre budget of Rs. 5,00,000 ( around 5000 USD). The film grossed over 50 Lakh INR in theatres thus starting off their journey in films.
