Fortune India's Best CEOs 2025 | Dinesh Vijan on the franchise strategy of Maddock Films

๐Ÿšจ ๐Ÿšจ At the Fortune India's Best CEOs 2025 event, Dinesh Vijan, Founder of Maddock Films, in conversation with Fortune Indiaโ€™s Editor-In-Chief Sourav Majumdar, announced a major expansion: 7 new horror-comedy films are planned over the next five years, deepening the studio's franchise-led growth strategy.

Vijan emphasized building sustainable, long-term IPs that draw on India's cultural reservoir, rather than chasing short-term trends. He noted the biggest challenge is the smartphone, not rival studios, pushing Maddock to adopt a screen-agnostic strategy across cinema, OTT, and mobile.

He also called AI a massive disruptor, set to alter filmmaking economics in the next 18โ€“24 months. Alongside their commercial hits, Maddock is continuing its prestige push with the upcoming war drama, Ikkis, starring Agastya Nanda.
