Excel Entertainment, a privately owned company headquartered in India, was founded in 1999 and employs approximately 210 individuals. The company primarily focuses on content rights and operates as a production company.
Excel Entertainment productions "Toxic" and "Mirzapur: The Movie" are poised to potentially transform the typically subdued August-September period into a significant box office success story for Indian Cinema in 2026, challenging the traditional focus on festive releases, according to a June 21, 2026 report. Earlier on June 21, Excel Entertainment joined Jio Hotstar and YRF in making substantial investments in India’s microdrama industry, which currently sees 100 million monthly active users and is valued between $300 million and $500 million. Farhan Akhtar, a co-founder of Excel Entertainment, was recognized on June 12 for his success in building production banners, enabling unique narratives and introducing new actors. This follows remarks on June 11 from Ashoke Pandit, President of the Indian Film and Television Directors' Association (IFTDA), who discussed the "Don 3" controversy and stated that Akhtar had supported Ranveer Singh prior to the success of "Dhurandhar." The dispute surrounds Ranveer Singh's exit from Akhtar's "Don 3" action film, an escalating legal and financial conflict that came to light earlier on June 11.
