Following Adar Poonawalla’s Serene Productions investing in Dharma Productions, reports suggest that Universal Studios is exploring a similar move with Farhan Akhtar’s Excel Entertainment.
Insiders indicate that Universal is considering acquiring a stake ranging from a minority share to as much as 50% in the production house. However, these talks remain in the early stages.
The interest reflects Hollywood’s growing focus on India’s flourishing film industry. With Bollywood’s global influence on the rise, major players like Universal Studios are keen to capitalise on its immense potential.
