Gazprom-Media Holding and the Indian company Eleeanora Images Privet Limited have signed a cooperation agreement. The document was signed by the holding's CEO, Alexander Zharov, and the Managing Director of Eleeanora Images Privet Limited, renowned Indian director and producer Neela Panda.
The agreement cemented the parties' intentions to collaborate in film production. The partners plan to jointly develop scripts and creative concepts for films, as well as pool their efforts in project financing. Plans include organizing filming in Russia and India with the participation of creative and technical specialists from both countries, as well as collaborating on post-production, marketing, and distribution in Russia, India, and other markets.
"This agreement establishes a systemic nature for our collaboration with our Indian partners. We're reaching a new level: not just occasional collaboration, but full-fledged cooperation—from content development to screen release. India is one of the fastest-growing media markets in the world, and it's important for us to build long-term relationships with players who understand local specifics and possess real expertise. I'm confident that combining our resources and expertise will enable us to create projects that will find audiences in both Russia and India."
Alexander Zharov, General Director of Gazprom-Media Holding
The document was signed during the Indian delegation's visit to the Gazprom-Media Holding office. The negotiations focused on the terms of the joint production of the film "Anna Pavlova," as well as Gazprom-Media Holding's assistance in implementing Eleeanora Images' projects in Russia.
"I'm very optimistic about this collaboration. Gazprom-Media understands how to make films for a large audience, while respecting the creative approach. For me, this is the perfect balance. I see that we can grow together—both as producers and as a creative team. I'm confident that exciting joint projects await us."
Nila Panda, Managing Director, Eleeanora Images Privet Limited
The signing of the agreement marks a continuation of Gazprom-Media Holding's strategy to develop its partnership with India. In early 2025, the holding signed agreements with Indian media companies Only Much Louder and Quantext Media Private Limited, and on the sidelines of the Russian-Indian Business Forum in December 2025, a cooperation agreement was signed with state broadcaster Prasar Bharati.
