He mentions that it is the fifth productional collaboration of Reliance Entertainment with Indian filmmakers. The media giant’s previous partnerships include — Phantom (with Anurag Kashyap, Madhu Mantena, Vikramaditya Motwane and Vikas Bahl), Rohit Shetty Picturez (with Rohit Shetty), Plan C Studios (with Neeraj Pandey and Sheetal Bhatia) and Y NOT Films (with S Sasikanth). Speaking about this development, Ali says, “There is a common vision that Window Seat Films and Reliance Entertainment share in terms of content that we would like to make, the kind of stories that we would like to tell and the way we want to collaborate. Working under this partnership is like working for myself,” reports Times of India. Over the years, Ali has proven to be one of the most sought-after young filmmakers whose films have always struck a chord with audiences, despite box office success or failure: from his debut film Socha Na Tha (2005), or the cult hits Jab We Met (2007) and Love Aaj Kal (2009), to Rockstar (2011), Highway (2014), Tamasha (2015) and the 2017 Shah Rukh Khan-Anushka Sharma-starrer Jab Harry Met Sejal.
