Milind Soman's Sci-Fi Superhero of 90s 'Captain Vyom' Set To Return In New Avatar
Mumbai, July 9 - The Brewing Thoughts Pvt Ltd. is bringing the golden era of Indian entertainment back, this time on the big screens. As 90s kids, we have grown up watching some of the most popular television shows like "Shakitmaan", "Vikram Aur Betaal", "Byomkesh Bakshi", and "Captain Vyom", among others, which made our "Bachpan" remember. ## It is difficult for 90s kids to explain to today's kids what kind of shows we grew up watching. But, there will not be any more need to explain as some of those shows are making their way back in whole new different avatars and hopefully with the same charm and vibes, thanks to the production house Brewing Thoughts Pvt Ltd.## Earlier this year, Brewing Thoughts Private Limited announced the Shaktimaan film trilogy with Sony Pictures International Productions, and now, it has acquired the adaptation rights of another popular 90s show, "Captain Vyom". The show will be made into a five-part film as well as five-part web series in a modern avatar. ## The original sci-fi superhero show, created by filmmaker Ketan Mehta, featured Milind Soman in the title role and the show aired on Doordarshan from 1998-99. Ketan Mehta is looking super excited about this development and looking to take Captain Vyom forward into the millennium. ## "I am really excited. For me, Captain Vyom is an Indian-origin superhero for a global audience. And it's time to reinvent when India is dreaming of its space in the new century. I am looking forward to our partnership with BTPL to take Vyom forward into the millennium. I hope and wish that this superhero flies to newer heights and distant lands. This franchise, with an intergalactic space adventure at its heart, can also be a perfect platform to showcase the best VFX and CGI talent in our country", Mehta told Pinkvilla. ## Film journalist-turned-producer Prashant Singh, who is the co-founder of Brewing Thoughts Pvt Ltd, added, "It's a big challenge and a huge responsibility to attempt something like this, especially in India but we are keeping our fingers crossed. It's possibly the best time to attempt a space/sci-fi superhero adventure in our country. Also, it feels great that we are reliving our childhood days – of the 90s – through our planned adaptations of hit Doordarshan shows such as Shaktimaan and Captain Vyom, etc". ## The first film in this new franchise will go on floors next year and the talks are on with young, A-list stars and top filmmakers to helm the project. The original show also starred Rahul Bose, Madhu Sapre, and Kartika Rane in the lead roles. ## Brewing Thoughts P Ltd will develop the five-part film, five-part web series universe...
