Farhan and Ritesh Sidhwani’s Excel Entertainment known for Mirzapur on Prime Video, and behind Bollywood movies such as Dil Chahta Hai is the most common fixture in Amazon’s new Indian slate with nine projects in total across the board.

This is the biggest slate Amazon Prime Video India has announce in one go from India, and there will no doubt be more reveals across the next two years.
