MUMBAI: Namit Malhotra has emerged as a key figure in Hollywood over the past 30 years, linking Bollywood and international cinema. Unlike many Indian talents, he has led major projects like The Garfield Movie and The Angry Birds Movie 3 through his companies, DNEG and Prime Focus, establishing himself as a leading Indian name in Hollywood.
Yash, star of KGF, recently shared how he became involved in Malhotra’s ambitious project, Ramayana. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Yash recounted their first meeting, explaining that he was in Los Angeles, discussing VFX for Toxic when he met Namit. As they talked, Namit shared his vision for Ramayana, a project they had been working on for years.
“I liked Namit and his vision. We both shared the same goal—to bring Indian films to international platforms. With the kind of support we’ve received from our audience, our visions were aligned. During our discussion, he just asked me, ‘Do you want to be part of this?’ I immediately understood the value he would add to my vision. He’s a great guy with huge potential, and not many people are aware of his achievements. His company has won 5-6 Oscars, and it’s amazing that an Indian has taken over and is doing such wonderful things. I feel very fortunate and blessed to have such great partners,” Yash said.
