Before acting, Sakshi Khanna to venture into film production

Of late, there were reports that veteran actor Vinod Khanna’s youngest son Sakshi Khanna is gearing up for his dream debut in Bollywood. Reports suggested that his debut film would be produced by Sanjay Leela Bhansali with whom he has worked earlier in ‘Bajirao Mastani’ as an assistant director. But, before facing the camera, Sakshi is indeed venturing into another cinematic department. Not many would be aware that Sakshi has his own production house named Jugaad Motion Pictures which he co-founded with his friend Dheer Momaya in the year 2015. And after successfully making a series of TV commercials, music videos and digital content under this banner, Sakshi is all set to venture in film production with Ukranian writer-director Dar Gai.

Dheer Momaya has confirmed the news to a leading tabloid, saying, “We want to disrupt the way the Indian film industry works and make films we believe in.” [sic] Talking about Jugaad Motion Pictures, their first short film that they produced was ‘Teen Aur Aadha’ featuring Jim Sarbh, Zoya Hussein and veteran theatre actors M K Raina and Suhasini Mulay. It also marked the acting debut of 12-year-old Arya Dave. (Also Check: All you need to know about Vinod Khanna’s son Sakshi Khanna)
