In addition to this, the group will produce international movies using advanced technology and worldwide distribution.

The Indywood consortium initiated by Aries Group is an umbrella network connecting 2000 influential and wealthy individuals with the latent potential of India's multi-billion dollar film and entertainment sector. Several leading industrialists from across the globe are already members of the consortium, which was launched recently in Hyderabad under Project Indywood.
