India-Taiwan co-production “Demon Hunters” will premiere May 15 on JioHotstar and Amazon Prime Video across the Indian subcontinent, expanding the action-horror-comedy’s reach following its Taiwan theatrical run.
The film will launch simultaneously on both platforms with multilingual offerings. JioHotstar will carry Hindi, Tamil and Telugu-language versions. Prime Video will stream the film in the Mandarin, English, Hindi, Tamil and Telugu languages.
Directed by Mei-Juin Chen, “Demon Hunters” follows Tommy, a YouTuber who fakes exorcisms for views, as he teams up with Sanjay, an Indian tech expert and grandson of a legendary exorcist, to battle a zombie demon possession. The film blends action, horror, comedy, romance and sci-fi.
The cast is led by Arjan Bajwa alongside JC Lin, Jack Kao, Harry Chang and Regina Lei. The production features more than 700 VFX shots and a combined Taiwanese-Hindi soundtrack, including Bollywood-style track “Dadaji Ka Jadoo,” distributed by Sony Music Taiwan.
Produced by Light House Productions and Kleos Entertainment Group, the film was backed by Taiwan’s Ministry of Culture. The international crew included collaborators from Jackie Chan’s action and cinematography teams.
“This is a strategic step toward building globally resonant IP from Asia,” said Gayathiri Guliani, producer at Kleos Entertainment Group. “It demonstrates how culturally rooted stories can transcend borders and unlock new audience ecosystems.”
Cindy Shyu, producer at Light House Productions, added: “Bringing together India and Taiwan on this scale has been creatively enriching. The film reflects a seamless blend of storytelling traditions and technical excellence that audiences worldwide can connect with.”
Kamal Jain of Superfine Films, the Indian distribution partner, said: “This is the kind of cinema that travels, connects, and performs across markets.”
“Demon Hunters” was released theatrically in Taiwan by Vie Vision Pictures.
