Renowned producer/director & the founder of Tinsel Town Films, Ayesha Zaki, known for her remarkable contributions to film and her keen sense of storytelling, has teamed up with the highly acclaimed director Nekib Ahmed, whose creative brilliance has won him both critical and audience acclaim. This collaboration is set to deliver a cinematic experience that promises to leave an indelible mark on viewers.





Jelly’s Universe, the film that is already making waves even before its release, boasts a powerful ensemble cast. The film’s remarkable cast features Aarah Ajinkya as Jelly, alongside Bhavna Rokade in multiple roles including Jelly’s mom and fantasy characters like Jinnie Joker and Cowgirl. The cast also includes Nekib Ahmed as Zee the Super Hero, Shifat Khan as Kayanath the Fairy, and Laxman Mandal as Jelly’s father, Rajeev.





With Ayesha Zaki’s expertise in production & filmmaking and Nekib Ahmed’s artistic vision, Jelly’s Universe promises to be a film that blends captivating storytelling with stunning visual artistry. Their collaboration raises the bar for what audiences can expect, crafting an immersive experience that will resonate emotionally and leave a lasting impact.





Presented by Tinsel Town Films, the upcoming film “Jelly’s Universe” is a mesmerizing blend of fantasy, live-action, and cutting-edge CGI that promises to take audiences on a heartwarming and thought-provoking journey. Produced by Ayesha Zaki and directed by the talented Nekib Ahmed, this film explores the complexities of parenting while delving into the magical world of a 13-year-old girl named Jelly, who finds solace in her vibrant, imaginary universes.





Set in the suburban areas of Mumbai, “Jelly’s Universe” follows the story of Jelly (played by Aarah Ajinkya), a curly-haired girl struggling to distinguish between the realms of reality and fantasy. Raised by her loving but somewhat oblivious parents, Priya (played by Bhavna Rokade) and Rajeev (played by Laxman Mandal), Jelly escapes the mundane and harsh realities of life by immersing herself in comic book-inspired worlds filled with fantastical creatures and heroic adventures. In a dreamy sequence, she journeys through Disney-like universes, meeting flying creatures and comic book characters, experiencing a thrilling roller coaster ride, only for her dream to be shattered by the harshness of reality.
As Jelly’s behavior becomes increasingly erratic and her connection to the real world weakens, her parents are left puzzled and concerned. They are forced to confront the emotional gap between them and their daughter. In a race against time, they must figure out how to bring Jelly back to reality, learning valuable lessons about the importance of presence, understanding, and nurturing their child’s inner world. Will they be able to understand the cause of her distress and become the heroes they need to be for their daughter?





With a stunning combination of live-action and visual effects, “Jelly’s Universe” emerges as a deeply emotional film that intricately explores the essence of childhood, the complexities of family dynamics, and the paramount importance of emotional support and understanding within the parent-child relationship. The film masterfully intertwines these themes, presenting a heartfelt narrative that resonates with audiences of all ages. Through vivid storytelling and compelling character arcs, it delves into the challenges and joys of growing up, emphasizing how vital it is for parents to nurture their children’s emotional well-being. The visual effects serve not only to enhance the fantastical elements of the story but also to symbolize the inner worlds of the characters, making their struggles and triumphs even more relatable and poignant. 


As the project moves closer to its highly anticipated release, fans and film enthusiasts alike are eagerly awaiting what promises to be a landmark film in this genre. The buzz surrounding “Jelly’s Universe” has been palpable, with discussions highlighting its unique narrative structure that sets it apart from other films.
