Saif turns producer

Sets up Illuminati Films in collaboration with Dinesh Vijan

If you’re wondering why Saif Ali Khan who had earlier insisted that ‘Being Cyrus’ not be dubbed in Hindi and then consented it, here’s the asli reason. Saif and Dinesh Vijan (the producer of ‘Being Cyrus’) have joined hands to set up Illuminati Films Private Limited, a production company that aims to explore various genres of commercial and intellectually stimulating cinema.

The success of the critically acclaimed ‘Being Cyrus’ has in fact paved the way for a successful working relationship between the two. And with this endeavour; the duo plan to tap into varied audiences. Says Saif, “Dinesh is a very dear friend and the basic platform for Illuminati is the like-minded perspective and ideology that Dinesh and I share with regard to cinema “

This strategic partnership will have Saif’s creative input as an actor and Dinesh Vijan’s technical expertise in production and cinema.

Adds Dinesh Vijan, “It is a challenge to cater to this new generation of cinema which is in constant need of change and I could think of no better partner than an evolved actor like Saif, who is also a very dear fiend of mine. I am really looking forward to the dawn of Illuminati’s first project.”
