A Hero From North-East India
She never wanted to be a hero.
She just wanted her dad back.
Mapui is fifteen when she watches her father taken from their home in Mizoram. The only thing he leaves behind is a supersuit — and it fits her like a burden more than armor.
Her search for him pulls her from the quiet hills of Mizoram into the neon-lit lanes of Kolkata, where a darker trail is waiting: children disappearing, families left with silence. Saving her father, it turns out, is not the only fight she’s been thrown into.
As Wingstar, she takes on trafficking rings, drug smugglers, mech animals and her own rising pride — losing almost everything before she learns what actually makes her strong: not the suit, but the people who stand with her. When cross-border terrorism threatens the country, the girl who became a hero by accident becomes the one an entire generation follows — as kids across India rise with her to form Starlition.
Why Wingstar
Content for young India
We’re merging the high-stakes kinetic energy of anime with the grounded, gritty textures of Indian urban neo-noir — bridging the gap between avid anime watchers and traditional Indian animation.
A young-adult Family Man
Shares the intensity and pace of The Family Man and Paatal Lok, sized for a teen / young-adult audience.
First of its kind
Features India’s first female Indian superhero.
Rooted in Mizoram
Integrates North East storytelling, resonating with current trends in Indian narrative.
Fast-paced, evolving
Mystery, mech animals and evolving tech that scales from local crime to cross-border terrorism.
Behind the SuitHow do you make a superhero in real time?
Every shot is built and lit inside Unreal Engine 5.4 and rendered with the Unreal Path Tracer, so directors see a near-final image while they work — not a preview to approve and hope. Lighting is planned in three passes, colour first, then shape, then real lamps and haze, before a single frame is rendered for real.
Actors perform together in Vicon motion-capture suits, fingers included, so two characters genuinely interact instead of being animated at each other later. Faces are captured on an iPhone and mapped on with MetaHuman Animator — no helmet rig, just a real expression landing on the character within minutes.
Holding it together is Rashomon, Zebu’s in-house production platform. One button fetches the right files, assembles the scene and checks quality automatically — turning what used to eat the first hour of an artist’s day into about a minute.
