H.H Sheikh Theyab Bin Khalifa Bin Hamdan Al Nahyan said, “I have always enjoyed Bollywood films and so do the people of Abu Dhabi. With this collaboration with Gaurang, we want to make meaningful cinema that is entertaining and enriching. This is an important step in the relationship between the two countries.”

An ecstatic Gaurang Doshi added, “H. H. from the Royal Family is a true visionary and has a rare talent to identify what will create opportunities. He is a wonderful person and I hope we can create magic together.”

H.H. of the Royal Family is looked upon as a stalwart figure committed towards the development of Abu Dhabi and this treaty between the two countries will definitely open up new avenues for Bollywood. Both the parties hope to push the boundaries of a business partnership with this collaboration and create a lifelong union between the two countries. The ground-breaking producer is ecstatic to announce a big investment in his venture by His Highness, the Sheikh of Abu Dhabi.

Gaurang Doshi was all praises for Mr. Amitabh Bachchan. He said, “I’m excited to have him onboard for Aankhen Returns, and there are many more to come. My projects are incomplete without him”.

Gaurang Doshi proved his mettle with his masterpieces such as Aankhen, Deewaar: Let’s Bring Our Heroes Home and Bawander, even managing to win four Limca Book records for his eccentric work. He inherited the art of filmmaking at a young age from his father late Mr. Vinod Doshi, who gave audiences, hits like Saccha Jhootha, Naastik, Dil, Beta & many more under the banner of VR Pictures. Now being at the helm himself, Gaurang aims to deliver more unconventional content under his newly incarnated Gaurang Doshi Productions breaking more records like never before.
