A remarkable spiritual legacy spanning over two decades is now making its way to cinemas. PRAJAPATHI, one of India’s most cherished stage productions on the life of Jesus Christ, is being transformed into a world-class feature film, aiming to share the message of God’s love and salvation with audiences across the globe.
For more than 25 years, PRAJAPATHI has been staged across India, touching thousands of lives through its powerful portrayal of the Gospel. Having inspired generations through theatre, the production is now set to reach a wider audience through an ambitious cinematic adaptation that blends biblical storytelling with modern filmmaking technology.
The film is written and directed by Dr. B. Rubert Raghunathan, who originally created the stage play over 25 years ago. Throughout his life, Dr. Raghunathan has dedicated himself to spreading the life and teachings of Jesus Christ through literature, music and drama. With PRAJAPATHI, he now brings that lifelong mission to the silver screen.
Speaking about the project, Dr. B. Rubert Raghunathan said:
“PRAJAPATHI is not merely a film depicting a historical event. It is a divine mission that reveals God’s love, grace, mercy, and the greatness of His salvation for all humanity.”
The film presents the complete biblical journey of Jesus Christ—from His miraculous birth, public ministry and miracles to His suffering, crucifixion and glorious resurrection. Based entirely on the Holy Bible, the production has been designed as a large-scale biblical motion picture that combines faith with cinematic excellence.
One of the most distinctive aspects of PRAJAPATHI is its unique production model. The film is being produced as a crowdfunded people’s movement, inviting believers and supporters from around the world to become partners in sharing the Gospel through cinema. Guided by the vision “From India to the Nations,” the project seeks to transcend languages, cultures and generations.
Adding to the authenticity of the production, the cast does not comprise professional film actors. Instead, the performers are dedicated artists who have faithfully portrayed these biblical characters in the PRAJAPATHI stage production for more than two and a half decades. Their commitment, sacrifice and spiritual dedication continue in this cinematic version.
With world-class production values and a deeply rooted biblical foundation, PRAJAPATHI promises to be much more than a historical film. It is positioned as a spiritual cinematic experience that seeks to inspire, strengthen faith and introduce the timeless message of Jesus Christ to audiences around the world.
As the film prepares for its theatrical journey, PRAJAPATHI stands as a unique example of faith, community participation and cinematic excellence—taking the Good News from India to the nations.
