Dinesh Vijan reveals how he chooses actors for his film

Maddock Films, a studio that seems to effortlessly combine humour, heart, and financial success, has quietly emerged as one of the most intriguing names in Hindi cinema.

Known for delivering films that stay with audiences long after the credits roll, Maddock has quickly risen to join the ranks of big studios like Yash Raj Films and Dharma Productions.

Its consecutive successes are evidence of its keen storytelling skills as well as the attention to detail and foresight that permeate every endeavour.

The producer and founder, Dinesh Vijan, is at the heart of this creative energy. His talent and subtlety have become hallmarks of Maddock.

From industry mainstays like Pankaj Tripathi to celebrities like Kriti Sanon, Rajkummar Rao, Vicky Kaushal, and Shraddha Kapoor, the studio's casting decisions have continuously resulted in standout performances.

Speaking on The Right Angle with Sonal Kalra, Season 2, produced by Gautam Thakker Films, Vijan shared his guiding principle for casting: “I only have two barometers. I like to work with actors who are at the top of their game, even if life’s not been kind to them, and who are good human beings. They make the atmosphere on set beautiful, and it elevates the film.”

For Vijan, it’s not just about talent—it’s about warmth, integrity, and the ability to create a space where everyone can bring their best.

Maddock's success stems from both its human touch and box office performance. While Sriram Raghavan's Ikkis, one of the year's most anticipated films, promises to carry on the tradition of clever, captivating storytelling, its most recent release, Thama, is already winning hearts and praise from both critics and audiences.

Maddock is unique in that it fosters actors and ideas, allowing them to develop and shine.

Vijan's belief that kindness and talent work together to create magic has influenced a studio culture that is more like a family than a company.

Maddock Films is one of the most exciting names in Indian cinema today because of its unique blend of professionalism, care, and inventiveness, which keeps viewers returning.
