“FrAImed”, directed by Ryan Curtis, follows a disgraced American CIA officer and a determined Indian intelligence analyst as they race against time to clear their names after being framed for a catastrophic terrorist attack. As fugitives on the run from their own governments, they must expose a global conspiracy while battling a powerful, weaponized AI capable of altering reality itself. The film blends high-octane action with a deep exploration of truth, trust, and the dangers of misinformation in a world increasingly governed by technology. With production taking place across iconic locations in India — including New Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad, and the breathtaking northern mountains — “FrAImed” promises to deliver a visually stunning, adrenaline-fueled cinematic ride that will captivate audiences across continents.

Director Ryan Curtis, whose recent works include the upcoming film Hollywood Grit, and television pilot REPO’d, brings his visionary storytelling to a global stage alongside producers Scott Adler, Justin Folger, and Bryan Eliacin. The script, penned by Curtis and Kristina Denton, strikes a timely chord in today’s AI-driven world. "What is terrifying is that the existential threat of weaponized AI is no longer something in the distant future, it’s on our doorstep, right now. The collaboration between Casadelic Pictures and Vamana Chalana Chitra Studios sets a new precedent for cross-cultural filmmaking. “India has such a rich history with film and cinema, I can’t think of a better place to bring FrAImed to life,” says Ryan Curtis ( he loves Indian culture and watching Hindi movies) who while answering my question also wittily remarked. That besides "Artificial Intelligence" the term "AI"  could also signify  American-Indian cinematic collaboration
