Times Group Managing Director Vineet Jain praised filmmaker Meghna Gulzar for creating strong films during the trailer launch for the movie "Daayra" [1].
The event highlighted the professional partnership between a major media executive and a prominent director, signaling the industry's continued investment in narrative-driven cinema.
This project marks the third collaboration [2] between Jain and Gulzar. During the launch, Jain said the team is truly proud of the work produced for the film [2]. He said Gulzar has a track record of producing strong films [1].
Gulzar expressed her gratitude to Jain for his faith and support [1]. She said his backing helped launch her filmmaking journey following the release of "Talvar" [1].
The film "Daayra" is scheduled for theatrical release on Sept. 18 [1]. The collaboration between the two reflects a long-term creative relationship that has spanned multiple projects.
While the trailer launch focused on the creative merits of the film, the partnership underscores the intersection of media ownership and artistic production in the current film landscape.
