Happy Birthday to Sajid Nadiadwala, one of Bollywood’s top film producers, born on February 18, 1966, in Mumbai. Both Sajid’s father and grandfather were film producers, and Sajid carries on the family legacy with Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment. His first marriage, to popular up and coming actress Divya Bharti, ended in tragedy when, after 10 months of marriage, she was found dead. His first successful venture was the 1996 movie ‘Jeet’, starring Salman Khan. Sajid followed with several movies starring Salman Khan and Akshay Kumar, including ‘Hey Babyy’ (2007), and ‘Houseful’ (2010) and Houseful 2′ (2012) which he also wrote. In 2014, he produced Imtiaz Ali’s ‘Highway’, ‘Heropanti’ with Tiger Shroff, and Chetan Bhagat’s ‘2 States’. He produced and made his debut as director in Salman Khan’s ‘Kick’. Other successful films are: ‘Tamasha’ (2015), ‘Baaghi’, ‘Housefull 3’, and ‘Dishoom’ in 2016, “Judwaa 2’ and ‘Baaghi 2’ in 2017. Projects in 2019 included the highly successful ‘Super 30’ with Hrithik Roshan, the Akshay Kumar comedy, ‘Housefull 4’, and ‘Chhichhore’, a fond lookback to the 90s with Sushant Singh Rajput. Unfortunately, ‘Kalank’, a big budget multi-starrer co-produced with Karen Johar, received mixed and mostly disappointing reviews. In 2020, Sajid produced ‘Baaghi 3’ with Tiger but put ‘83’ with Ranveer Singh on hold because of covid. Upcoming productions include: ‘Kick 2’, ‘Tadap’, and ‘Bachchan Pandey’.

Ever since I was a little girl, I loved a good story. As an American, most of the movies I have watched were made in Hollywood. As I got older I lost interest in Hollywood movies and started watching Bollywood movies. Now I enjoy Tollywood, Kollywood, and Mollywood films as well.
