Sony Pictures Entertainment (SPE) Films India Private Ltd has roped in four talented filmmakers from Bollywood and south from a variety of genres to give us films which are high on entertainment. The four names include: Umesh Shukla, Sajid Samji, Sabbir Khan and Sashi Kiran Tikka.
Each of these directors have carved out a niche for themselves in various genres and it would be interesting to note that all of their films, backed by Sony, will go on floors at the end of this year itself. Most likely, these films are planned for a 2020 release.
The production house wants to dabble in different areas including comedy, a family oriented slice of life films, hardcore action, and biopics. With this move, the production house hopes that they would offer something new and exciting for the cinema-goers.
Vivek Krishnani, MD, SPE Films India Private Ltd says, “We are excited to work with such talented directors from our industry, who share a common vision like us at Sony Pictures as we seek to become a content led Studio.With Umesh, Sabbir, Sajid and Sashi working on four very different subjects we can’t wait to bring entertaining clutter breaking content to the audiences.”

Their distinctive creative visions will elevate each one of these projects on our upcoming slate.”
