Farhan Akhtar’s films as a producer
The son of screenwriters Javed Akhtar and Honey Irani, Farhan Akhtar was born with the ability to write stories and bring them to life. Hence, he entered the Indian film industry in 2001 with the film Dil Chahta Hai, which he wrote, directed, and produced. It was followed by films like Don: The Chase Begins Again until he debuted as an actor with Rock On, which was also backed by his production house.
Since then, along with his partner Ritesh Sidhwani, Akhtar has financially backed many movies like Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, Fukrey, Dil Dhadakne Do, Raees, Fukrey 3 and the recent coming-of-age drama film Kho Gaye Hum Kahan. It stars Siddhant Chaturvedi, Ananya Panday, and Adarsh Gourav in lead roles.
