Kuku’s maiden feature ‘Indian Institute of Zombies’ Teaser Unleashes Zombie Mayhem on an Elite Campus*

Kuku, India’s leading AI-driven premium storytelling platform, has released the teaser for its first theatrical feature, IIZ: Indian Institute of Zombies, offering a glimpse into a campus where things have gone drastically wrong. Set within an elite engineering institute, the teaser drops viewers into the middle of a rapidly unfolding crisis. With flashes of students behaving erratically, moments of sudden violence, and a growing sense of unrest, it hints at an outbreak that spreads faster than it can be understood - turning a once-safe campus into a zone of chaos.

Blending elements of horror, comedy, and campus drama, IIZ: Indian Institute of Zombies positions itself as an unconventional take on the zombie genre, where survival becomes central to the story. The film features an ensemble cast including Jessie Lever, Anupriya Goenka, Mohan Kapur, Ranjan Raj, Shivani Paliwal, Shantanu Anam, Rose Sardana, Sachin Kavetham, and Tanishq Chaudhary. The story is written and produced by Kunj Sanghvi, Senior Vice President of Content at Kuku, with Hussain and Abbas Dalal serving as screenwriters, and is directed by Gaganjeet Singh and Alok Dwivedi of Low Gravity Productions.

An engaging teaser asset of the forthcoming film, IIZ: Indian Institute of Zombies stands apart from traditional genre offerings with its high-energy, genre-blending narrative and campus setting, signaling a fresh, new-age cinematic experience for younger audiences. The film is set to release in theatres on May 8.
