Speaking to Gulf News, the actor shared few details – “This entertainment company will contain different verticals, ranging from content creation, filmmaking, state-of-art studio, talent management and acquisition to digital media as a getaway to international markets” he said.
When asked about the location selection, Kapoor justified his choice of selection to be overseas. “Given that I already have a presence in Mumbai, Los Angeles and London, today’s landscape is such that no company can be called a global one if it does not have its presence in Dubai. Hence we made sure that we set up an office here”
