Facts/Trivia
- He entered the South Indian film industry with the Kannada film Kabzaa on March 17, 2023, which was later released in Hindi as Underworld Ka Kabzaa. The film is screened in Hindi and four South Indian languages. In an interview, he talked about entering the South Indian industry and said,
I have always believed that regional films have more roots and more original content. Currently, my company (Anand Pandit Motion Pictures) is focusing on a lot of regional content. We have a lot of Marathi and Gujarati movies. Then we thought it would be great to enter the southern market because they are complete professionals. This is my experience. We have produced Kabzaa in Kannada and will also release it in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam. The budget is Rs 900-100 crore. “
- At his 60th birthday party, Shah Rukh Khan attended the party and talked about Anand. He mentioned,
He is also my spiritual guide. He understands Feng Shui, so when one of my movies doesn’t do well, I call him to change things up in my home. I said, “Sir, meri pichli waali picture chali nahi, kuch kar do.” He suggested moving a mirror. But luckily, my movies have been working. “

- In an interview, he discussed what he looks for before investing in a film. He said in the interview,
I look at every project from the audience’s perspective, so it’s important to me to tell the story of something new. As a producer, I don’t want to repeat the cliche that “content is king,” but it is. Only a compelling story, well-drawn characters, and creative execution can make a movie memorable for audiences in today’s glut of content. As someone who loves big screen entertainment, I also enjoy creating visual feasts, but making sure that the production values and sense of grandeur enhance rather than replace a strong narrative. Whether it’s a building, a movie, or a TV series, if the foundation is not strong, it’s bound to collapse. Therefore, I am willing to invest my time and resources into any project that has a solid story and provides an unforgettable cinematic experience.
