Their first release will be the bilingual thriller Haadsa, starring Gulshan Devaiah , Sagarika Ghatge and Kunal Roy Kapur in lead roles.
Speaking on the association, Rahul Chanda, the managing director of the Chandra Group, said in a statement, “Indian Film & Media sector is one of the fastest growing market and in a country which has an exceptional appetite for information and content, it is about time that this sector is explored as a serious business avenue. This association with ODDBALL Motion Pictures will help us to power forward in the Industry. They are passionate and developing some great content.”
Nitin Upadhyaya said, “All a dream needs is a Dreamer. What Chanda group has offered is an unparalleled opportunity to produce and deliver high-quality films and world-class entertainment content at an uncompromising scale. Over the past few years a lot of new avenues have cropped up that have taken precedence as the profit center in the media business than just the classic feature films, an encouraging example being the humongous growth of OTT platforms and content in India. While films will remain our key focus area, we now also plan to expand in the digital domain and venturing into South Indian film industry. We are very thankful for them putting so much trust in a relatively younger organization like ours and we will forever strive to make them proud”.
ODDBALL Motion Pictures has produced Rajkummar Rao and Shruti Hassan starrer Behen Hogi Teri in 2017. The production house has an impressive lineup of films for 2018, including Emraan Hashmi ’s Captain Nawab .
