Power players of Bollywood celebs running their own production houses

Deepika made her production debut with Chhapaak, based on the real-life story of acid attack survivor Laxmi Agarwal. KA Productions focuses on socially relevant, women-centric cinema.

Alia recently launched her own production house and debuted as a producer with Darlings on Netflix, co-starring Shefali Shah. The film received critical acclaim, and she plans to back more female-led stories.

Ajay’s production house has been behind films like Shivaay, Tanhaji, and Runway 34. He actively stars in and directs several of his productions, often combining commercial appeal with strong narratives.

Co-founded with her brother Karnesh Sharma (before she exited in 2022), Anushka’s banner produced critically acclaimed content like NH10, Pari, Paatal Lok, and Bulbbul. It was praised for supporting edgy, offbeat stories and first-time filmmakers.

This banner has been associated with hits like Baby, Toilet: Ek Prem Katha, and Mission Mangal. Akshay uses it to push meaningful, often patriotic content that resonates with a wide audience.

PeeCee's production house focuses on regional cinema and content that breaks barriers. Her Marathi production Ventilator was a massive hit and won a National Award. She also aims to promote Indian storytelling on global platforms.

SRK’s Red Chillies is one of the most successful production houses in India. From blockbusters like Chennai Express and Om Shanti Om to Netflix originals like Betaal, the company also manages VFX, distribution, and sports (co-owns Kolkata Knight Riders in IPL).

Known for backing content-driven cinema, Aamir's production house has delivered gems like Lagaan (which earned an Oscar nomination), Taare Zameen Par, Dangal, and Peepli Live. He’s known for quality over quantity.
