Girish Johar

reference content So, here’s a guy who’s pretty much lived and breathed movies for over two decades—24 years, to be exact. That’s a wild amount of time in this business, right? He’s not just clocking hours either; the man’s been part of 160+ films, jumping across languages like Hindi, English, Marathi, Punjabi, Tamil, Telugu, and Bangla. That’s not dabbling, that’s all-in. He’s got this knack for spotting what’s gonna work on screen, and honestly, his track record backs it up. People in the industry actually listen when he talks numbers—he’s a go-to for film trade and business analysis, and doesn’t shy away from taking the producer’s seat either. He’s been through the whole ride: greenlighting projects, crunching budgets, scouting new talent, figuring out where to sell movies, getting into web series before it was cool, and squeezing every bit of value out of film rights. The whole film circus—production, marketing, PR, events, branding, you name it—he’s got his hands in all of it. Even dealing with government red tape and trade bodies? Yep, he’s done that too. Right now, he’s consulting with some pretty big names—Fortune Films, Tusshar Entertainment House, Bhu Flix, and a bunch more—pushing fresh projects with top stars. He’s the guy who shortlists the good scripts, figures out how much it’ll all cost, and then hustles to get the word out. His credits? Oh, just a few hits like Jazbaa, Rustom, Toilet Ek Prem Katha, Padman, Pari, Parmanu, Fanney Khan, Batti Gul, and plenty more. And he’s not slowing down—there’s always something new brewing.
