Strategic initiatives and outlook
Beyond the subsidiary divestment, Mukta Arts Production is returning to active film production with projects like Maanya, Taal 2, and Khalnayak 2. The company is also diversifying into animation through SGM Studios and expanding its live entertainment portfolio with events such as Eva Live × Mithoon. Additionally, Mukta A2 Cinemas has entered a management-contract partnership with One Cinemas to build a capital-light model, reducing exposure to box office cycles while retaining ownership of high-performing assets.
