Adi Shankar's Bootleg Universe Media Group is a media company founded in 2012 by Indian-American producer & television show creator Adi Shankar.

Bootleg Universe began as a series of YouTube parody fan films of established media properties, including Marvel's The Punisher in The Punisher: Dirty Laundry, a speculative Pokémon finale titled The End of Pokémon, and the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers satire Power/Rangers. It has since evolved into a comprehensive entertainment entity, producing a diverse range of content spanning live-action, animation, film, television series, documentaries, and video games.

Notable animation projects include the series Castlevania, The Guardians of Justice, and Captain Laserhawk: A Blood Dragon Remix. Notable feature film projects include Dredd, The Voices, and The Grey.
