Equinox Virtual launches AI-powered musical micro-drama series ‘Mohini’

Equinox Virtual has announced the launch of ‘Mohini’, an AI-powered musical micro-drama series that will premiere on Instagram and YouTube on May 15.

Created and written by Amita Madhvani, CEO and co-founder of Equinox Virtual, the series combines music, short-form storytelling and generative AI tools in an episodic format designed for digital audiences.

According to the company, the series follows a female protagonist navigating themes such as identity, ambition and reinvention. The project has been developed in collaboration with Google Cloud.

Equinox Virtual said it used Google Cloud’s Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform and generative AI models including Gemini, Nano Banana and Veo across scripting, image generation and video workflows.

Amita Madhvani, CEO and co-founder, Equinox Virtual, said: “Mohini was born from a desire to explore new storytelling grammar; where music doesn’t accompany emotion, it becomes the narrative. With Google Cloud’s leading edge AI tools, we’ve been able to experiment at a scale and speed that would otherwise be impossible, while remaining deeply rooted in human intention. Every frame of Mohini began as a human-authored prompt and ended with a human-led edit. Our AI stack functions as a high-performance engine, but the steering wheel remains firmly in the hands of our artists. This collaboration represents what’s possible when technology serves imagination.”

Ram Madhvani, co-founder, Equinox Virtual, said: “Storytelling has always evolved with technology. With Mohini, we are consciously building a new format; intimate yet expansive, musical yet narrative-driven. Working with Google Cloud allows us to push creative boundaries responsibly and ambitiously, as we explore how AI can elevate cinematic craft rather than replace it.”

Sashi Sreedharan, managing director, Google Cloud India, said: “What Equinox Virtual is bringing to life with Mohini shows how generative AI can be integrated into a sophisticated creative process. With Google Cloud AI, Equinox is able to enhance their world-building and narrative development through more agile workflows. By letting the platform manage the multi-layered complexities of production, the creators can remain focused on the soul of the story.”

The company said ‘Mohini’ is the first in a pipeline of AI-enabled storytelling projects being developed in the micro-drama musical format.
