Siddharth Anand expands Marflix banner with 7 upcoming films, preps next directorial venture

Renowned filmmaker Siddharth Anand, known for blockbuster hits like War, Pathaan, and Fighter, has been making significant strides in both direction and production fronts. Over the past five years, he has not only delivered major box office successes but has also ventured into film production alongside his wife, Mamta Anand, under their banner Marflix. Currently, the Saif Ali Khan and Jaideep Ahlawat starrer Jewel Thief, helmed by Robie Grewal, is already in production.

Anand is concurrently involved in scripting Krrish 4 with Hrithik Roshan under director Karan Malhotra. Additionally, he is spearheading the pre-production of King, featuring Shah Rukh Khan, Suhana Khan, and Abhishek Bachchan, in collaboration with director Sujoy Ghosh. According to Pinkvilla, the development reveals that Anand's production agenda includes several high-octane action films aimed at pushing the boundaries of Indian cinema, including a standalone female-led action project currently in the casting phase.

Further diversifying his portfolio, Anand has partnered with Mahaveer Jain for a film inspired by a true event from the life of spiritual leader Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, set against the backdrop of war. Simultaneously, an original action film helmed by Milan Luthria is also progressing swiftly towards casting.

While juggling multiple production ventures, Anand is now turning his attention back to directing with his ninth directorial venture. Amid speculation over whether Pathaan 2, Fighter 2, or Tiger v/s Pathaan would be his next directorial, insiders reveal that Anand has locked in a standalone mega-budget action film under the Marflix banner. With the script finalized after meticulous planning, Anand is eager to commence work on his highly anticipated ninth directorial endeavor.

The industry is abuzz with excitement over Siddharth Anand's ambitious plans, marking a new phase in his illustrious career as a filmmaker and producer.
