Over the past 30 years, Namit Malhotra has emerged as a pioneering force in both Hollywood and Bollywood, establishing himself as one of the most influential Indians in Hollywood. While India has seen many of its talents in Hollywood, Malhotra stands out as the first to back large-scale projects like The Garfield Movie and The Angry Birds Movie 3.
A lesser-known fact about Malhotra is that he is the biggest Indian name in Hollywood, making significant strides and putting India on the global map. Based in LA, he has collaborated with some of the industry's biggest names, quietly achieving success and prominence.
Malhotra’s journey started in 1995 in Mumbai with a garage start-up, a single Apple Mac, and a vision that convinced three tutors from his computer graphics course to join him in creating Prime Focus. Within a decade, Prime Focus became India's largest independent media services company, pioneering technological advancements in Bollywood. This success led Malhotra to expand westward, first to the UK and then the US. A series of strategic acquisitions followed, establishing a global presence for Prime Focus and bridging the gap between East and West.
Today, Namit Malhotra is a major player in Hollywood, with his productions prominently featured in some of the biggest films. He is currently preparing for his significant co-production, Ramayana. Besides his producer credits on "Ramayana" and "The Garfield Movie," Malhotra has several high-profile projects in the pipeline, including the upcoming feature film Animal Friends for Legendary Entertainment. Whether securing financing, collaborating with directors, or building new VFX studios like the one for "Furiosa" in Australia, Malhotra is a master storyteller dedicated to creating global content and forging an unprecedented path for India in the international film industry.
