The mastermind behind historic movie deals, Sajid Qureshi, now sees "Varanasi" as the next big thing in Indian cinema.
Mumbai, April 2026 — Sajid Qureshi, the chairman and founder of Inbox Pictures, keeps solidifying his standing as one of the most powerful negotiators in Indian entertainment.
Qureshi is positioned himself to play a key part in S. S. Rajamouli's ambitious next project, Varanasi, which is scheduled for a grand 2027 release. He recently orchestrated a historic rights deal for the international smash RRR.
The producers of RRR, DVV Entertainment, formally praised Sajid Qureshi for negotiating a significant multi-rights transaction with Pen Studios, headed by Chairman Mr. Jayantilal Gada, in a clear demonstration of his skills.
The success of Qureshi with RRR signifies a significant change in the dynamics of the sector. He bravely enabled RRR's alliance with Pen Studios, despite the fact that previous pan-Indian epics like Baahubali: The Beginning and Baahubali 2: The Conclusion were typically linked to well-established distribution giants. In addition to being monetarily successful, this unorthodox but incredibly successful collaboration showed his acute awareness of changing market trends, his aptitude for spotting up-and-coming powerhouses, and his confidence in forming strategic partnerships over outdated systems.
