Reliance Entertainment partners with Ribhu Dasgupta to form Film Hangar
Reliance Entertainment has joined hands with filmmaker
Ribhu Dasgupta to form Film Hangar, a joint venture company to produce
clutter-breaking content.
The first film under this banner is the highly anticipated
thriller, "The Girl On The Train", an adaptation of the bestselling novel
with the same name by Paula Hawkins. The film starring Parineeti Chopra is
slated to release on Netflix on February 26.
Ribhu's body of work comprises "Michael" (2011) starring
Naseeruddin Shah, the TV series "Yudh" (2014) starring Amitabh
Bachchan, "TE3N" (2016) starring Amitabh Bachchan, Vidya Balan and
Nawazuddin Siddiqui and, very recently, the web series "Bard Of
Blood" (2019), which streams on Netflix.
Speaking about the joint venture, Ribhu said: "I have always
believed that content sets the ground for you as a filmmaker, and Reliance
Entertainment embodies this philosophy with the stories it
tells. Film Hangar will bring films that are rich in content and high on
entertainment. We aim to blur the lines between 'massy' and 'classy' content
because filmmaking is an art that defies boundaries, definitions and
labels."
Shibasish Sarkar, Group CEO, Reliance Entertainment, said:
"Right from our 'TE3N' days, Ribhu has been someone who has brought a
unique sensibility to every project and with Film Hangar, we wish to break the
clutter with edgy and engaging content. At Reliance Entertainment, we believe
that filmmakers who keep us on the edge of the seat should be in the driving
seat when it comes to content, and our new joint venture is a testament of this
belief."
