Pan Nalin — the versatile brain behind Wagale Ki Duniya — meets us at the Versova office he shares with co-founder of Jungle Book Entertainment, Gaurav Dhingra. Their first venture, was the 2013 documentary Faith Connections inspired by the Maha Kumbh Mela held in Allahabad.
In 2014, they joined hands with Canadian producer Fred Fuchs for the television series, Greeks, which follows the 326 BC Indian invasion of Alexander. Still under development, the budget for season one is around $30-40 million. For now, however, Nalin and Dhingra are excited about a project closer home — their first full-length Bollywood film, Angry Indian Goddesses, which will premiere at TIFF in 12 days.
