Producer Siddharth Roy Kapur has been featured in Variety’s 500 Most Influential Leaders in the Global Media Industry, for the sixth consecutive year. Siddharth’s production house has been behind some of the most talented work in the industry in 2022. This includes Rocket Boys and the Oscar-shortlisted drama Last Film Show (Chhello Show). The platform has recognized Siddharth’s role in steering the content agenda in 2022 and elevating Indian storytelling to new heights, as also his able leadership as President of the Producers Guild of India (PGI) for an unprecedented six consecutive years.
The list only features eight Indians, which includes names like Mukesh Ambani, Shah Rukh Khan, Akshay Kumar and S.S. Rajamouli apart from Siddharth. Here’s what he had to say,
It is a great honour to be included once again among Variety’s 500 Most Influential Leaders in the Global Media Industry, along with so many incredible leaders from India and around the world. I hope to keep working hard at bringing audiences unique and differentiated content that engages, inspires and entertains.
With about twenty five years of experience, Siddharth is undeniably one of the strongest forces in the Indian entertainment industry. Upcoming projects from Roy Kapur Films include Rocket Boys Season 2, the war-drama Pippa, the comedy-drama films Bas Karo Aunty! and Woh Ladki Hain Kahaan?, and either other series from his production house.
