In today’s times, when Bollywood’s focus is on making realistic or slice-of-life films like ‘Badhaai Do’, ‘Gehraiyaan’ and ‘Jalsa’, the Southern Film Industries are raking in the moolah by making big-budget extravaganzas like ‘Pushpa: The Rise’, ‘RRR’ and ‘KGF 2’. In such times, one wonders whether the Hindi film industry doesn’t have storytellers who are capable of making commercial films that could offer viewers a memorable experience.
“There is no dearth of talent in the industry but many of them don’t get the right opportunities. In the last couple of years, the only Bollywood filmmaker who has consistently delivered on his promise of making entertaining films for the mass audience is Rohit Shetty. My vision as a producer is very clear. Under Makshika Films, I want to make larger-than-life commercial films”, says Gaurav Kaushal, the young founder of the company.

Gaurav, who has been a part of the entertainment industry for more than a decade, has taken an important step in his career by launching his own production house, Makshika Films. Despite being a new company, his company is actively developing multiple films and shows which will go on the floors soon.
“I believe all kinds of films should be made. However, as we can see, there is a dearth of good commercial films being made in the Hindi film industry today. One hardly comes across the kind of films which families would want to visit the theatre to watch. For the audience, the joy of watching a well-made commercial film remains unparalleled. There is a void in the industry and we want to fill that by making well-made, entertaining and meaningful commercial cinema”, he states.

One of the many projects Makshika Films is producing includes a feature-length film that happens to be a remake of a much successful French film. With the kind of vision Gaurav and his team have, sky is the limit for this company which believes in making wholesome content for a wide spectrum of audience.
