Excel Origins will discover, develop and support Indian filmmakers under 30 years of age, in keeping with Excel Entertainment’s long-standing focus on new voices, original stories and creative risk-taking.

Excel Origins will discover, develop and support Indian filmmakers under the age of 30 across the country to celebrate the 25 years of Excel Entertainment, started by Ritesh Sidhwani and Farhan Akhtar. The move is in line with Excel Entertainment’s founding philosophy of supporting new voices, new ideas and creative risk-taking, and it also opens doors to new directors, writers, actors and other talent.

Excel Entertainment is celebrating its silver anniversary and is on the lookout for young creators who can create original stories, across genres and in a variety of storytelling formats. And Excel Origins is coming.  At 26, Sidhwani and Akhtar founded Excel Entertainment and started working on a film that would change the game for a generation of viewers: Dil Chahta Hai.

The makers say Dil Chahta Hai was a simple belief that new voices and new ways of telling stories could find audiences, even when there was no certainty about untested creative choices. The founders said Excel Origins is shaped by their early experience, taking the same risk-taking approach to filmmakers at the beginning of their professional careers.
