Vashikaran — the proof of concept

Vashikaran title card

Vashikaran is a 13-minute AI-generated horror pilot — screenplay through motion visuals — for Pocket TV's Hindi vertical-drama channel.

Built end-to-end on a generative stack — ChatGPT, Gemini, Leonardo, Runway, LTX and VEO3 — with a workflow the editing team was then trained to run.
