Uncle Gru's Tales (2026)

Years ago, Perm composer and real estate professional Valery Gruner wrote Uncle Gru's Tales, a book he had long dreamed of publishing. Ukrainian artist Alexander Shults, who illustrated it, hoped the project would turn him into a millionaire. Director Konstantin Shitov started filming the story in 2012 but died before finishing it. His colleague Semyon Sosnin stepped in to complete the film, serving as both director and editor.
