Amit Agarwal started Adarsh Telemedia in 2005
in Kolkata and from a film post-production studio
in Kolkata, he ventured into film production. Beginning with Bengali Film ASTRA
in 2012, Amit graduated to Bollywood when he initiated as
producer the Hindi film M.S. DHONI - THE UNTOLD STORY.
Later he produced the film SIMRAN starring Kangana Ranaut which was
released in 2017.
He is also the Producer of Hindi Film RAAHGIR
being directed by internationally acclaimed filmmaker
GOUTAM GHOSE. RAAHGIR was entirely shot in Jharkhand (Ranchi surroundings and
Netarhat). The film would travel to various film festivals across the globe and thereafter
would have its theatrical release.
Amit is also working as the Director of AJOOBA, an
animation film in Hindi which has Gulshan Grover, Tisca Chopra
and Mukesh Khanna as the lead voice cast.
Amit Agarwal feels that Jharkhand has immense
scope of development in this segment. It has very talented
artistes and technicians who just need little motivation and support to showcase
themselves. Amit also feels that Jharkhand has beautiful natural locations
which are very rare and filmmakers around the world
should be made aware of this. He is very thankful to Jharkhand
Film Development Corporation for coming up with the idea of Subsidy Policy
which according to him is one of the biggest opportunities for all genres of
filmmakers.
He is also very thankful to JIFF – Jharkhand
International Film Festival for starting an event of such
a scale, where filmmakers, both national and international are participating to
screen their films.
