Empowering Icons. Creating Stars. Telling Stories.

We are delighted to announce an exciting collaboration between SmitShree Studio, led by filmmaker-director Shreeya Chawan, and Shy Punekar's prestigious Bharat Icon USA Pageant, taking place in Portland, Oregon. bharaticonusa.com+2Instagram+2
This partnership marks a unique convergence of talent, purpose and cinema — where pageant winners not only shine on stage but step into the spotlight of our upcoming feature film Threads of Light, adapted from Chandrashekhar Chawan’s evocative novel.

• Winners of Bharat Icon USA will receive a distinctive opportunity: a casting invitation to appear in Threads of Light — under the direction and vision of Shreeya Chawan.
   
• This is more than a prize: it’s a gateway into film-space, storytelling and creative professional growth.
   
• Whether you are a seasoned performer or a rising star, the chance to join our cinematic journey gives your story, your voice, and your dream a new platform.
   

 Threads of Light is a sweeping, multi-dimensional saga that begins with a spark — a photon that remembers.
From that single pulse emerges a cosmic chronicle of consciousness:
a story of scientists, dreamers, and luminous beings discovering that empathy is not a feeling but a fundamental force of the universe.
Spanning galaxies, epochs, and evolutions, the novel follows humanity’s ascent from the laboratories of Portland, Oregon to the ethereal cities of light that bloom beyond the Milky Way.
It chronicles the rise of the Empathic Network, the Echofire technology, and the luminous civilization of PAatala Loka —
where beings learn to live not by law or faith, but by resonance.
Each chapter explores a layer of existence:
the birth of emotion in matter,
the death and comfort of a star,
the rebirth of memory across universes,
and finally, the merging of love and physics into one infinite continuum.
At its core, Threads of Light is not about endings or beginnings —
it is about remembering that light feels,
and that compassion is the only true constant in creation.
Blending science fiction, spiritual philosophy, and poetic realism,
this work stands as both a narrative and a meditation —
an exploration of what happens when consciousness learns to care for itself.
Through this film, we aim to weave together emotional realism and visual grandeur — offering a meaningful role for those who bring presence, passion and authenticity to screen.
