Director Prateek is reviving his grandfather Pramod Chakraborty's banner Pramod Films with "From Sydney With Love", releasing July 27, while Shakti Samantha's Aradhana Films will start a brand new innings with the release of "Yeh Jo Mohabbat Hai" Aug 3.
Both are love stories - a genre that may never bore the audience, says director Ashim Samanta, son of late filmmaker Shakti Samanta.
"Emotions don't change, only the presentation of affection changes. Love was there 5,000 years back, and love will remain even after 100 years. What changes is the way it's shown in each film. Our film 'Yeh Jo...' is on today's line and captures the perspective of youngsters," Ashim told.
He is betting Rs.12 crore at the film that launches his son Aditya as an actor and says his home banner was not in hibernation. It was the industry's changing ways which kept him away.
"We just made fewer films. We made TV serials, and we last made a movie ('Don Muthuswami') in 2008. It didn't do too well, that's why everyone feels we've not made anything. We've been actively serious about TV.
"My father did not want me to do TV. But filmmaking became an exorbitantly risky field, the distribution patterns changed, the corporatisation changed the game, actors started producing their very own films, there has been hardly space for small films with new faces. Stars charge so much, they usually do just one or two films in a year," said the filmmaker.
Meanwhile, Prateek, has got down to revive the family banner and plans to make "sensible films".
"We always deal with telling the stories how it have to be told. Our banner has earned goodwill over the period of fifty years and that i need to survive those principles and make films that experience long-lasting impact and make sense," the 31-year-old director told.
"I want Pramod Films to be an active banner. Now out of sight is out of mind. The film industry has short term memory and it will be significant to stay in action," he added.
Moti Sagar Productions, part of Ramanand Sagar's banner Sagar Arts, last release was 2007 National Award-winning film "1971", which was directed by Amrit Sagar. After five years, it's set for a revival with fun-filled saga "Rabba Main Kya Karoon".
Bollywood's famous studio Bombay Talkies Limited, that's said to have produced 102 feature films since 1934, may be reportedly set to rise from the ashes after lying defunct for 58 years.
Two films - "Zakhmi" and a yet-untitled film - are said to be within the making under the supervision of Abhay Kumar, grandson of Rajnarayan Dube, the primary financier of Bombay Talkies.
The famous Prakash Mehra Productions may be bouncing back way to Amit Mehra, son of late filmmaker Prakash Mehra. He's set to supply and direct the remake of his father's "Zanjeer" under the banner.
Raj Kapoor's R.K.Films might soon discover a new lease of life courtesy his star grandson Ranbir Kapoor.
"There have been numerous progress in our plans to restore the RK banner. We've zeroed in on some scripts," Ranbir told.
"The Kapoor family is within the film industry for the reason that past 80 years ranging from my great grandfather Prithviraj Kapoor, to me and my cousins (Karisma and Kareena). I AM HOPING we continue to contribute to cinema within the same way," he added.
In the meantime, Fardeen Khan is about to be making efforts towards reviving his late father Feroz Khan's banner, FK International and Sunny Deol is resurrecting Vijeta Films with a "Ghayal" remake. Will these banners pass the tests and tastes of audiences today? Watch this space!
