After Excel’s Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani, Sajid Nadiadwala has been approached by the US entertainment giant.
We were the first to tell you that Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani of Excel Entertainment are venturing into digital content. Turns out the two are set to produce shows for Netflix in association with Amazon. The second name proposed to come on board is Sajid Nadiadwala’s. The move is the result of Nadiadwala’s three big hits this year — Baaghi, Housefull 3 and Dishoom.
Says a source, “The portal has approached ace producer Sajid Nadiadwala and offered him a huge amount for a three film deal but the producer hasn’t given a nod yet and is currently working on the plan.”
As for Farhan and Ritesh, their first venture is a cricket-based show called Powerplay, for which Richa Chadha has already started shooting.
