ZEEL appoints Akash Chawla as
Essel Vision Productions
Business Head

With an ardor to create different content and
an attempt to strike a balance between the
quality and business of feature films and
television, Essel Vision Productions Ltd (EVPL)
was instituted in June 2012 as a part of Essel
Group of Companies under the leadership of
Mr. Nittin Keni.
To enhance it from its current size into a
business which is larger in terms of reach to
multiple channels and languages, Zee
Entertainment Enterprises Ltd (ZEEL) has
appointed Mr. Akash Chawla, who has
successfully been heading the Marketing
Function for National Channels at ZEEL, to
now take charge as the Business Head - EVPL.
Akash has been given the mandate to head
the TV Production (all languages), Movie
Production (all languages except Marathi),
Studio Production Business, Digital & Online
Production, Events & IP creation. Akash will
drive the organizational aspiration of EVPL
and contribute in multiplying its business
from its current business levels. For this role,
Akash will report to Mr. Nittin Keni, CEO -
EVPL.
"Essel Vision is very focused in the film &
television production, digital, events and the
IP creation business. Having spearheaded
marketing for Zee TV, Zee Cinema, Zee Classic
and Zee Cine Awards, Akash has worked
successfully towards the launch of three of
ZEEL's new brands in the last one year -
&pictures, Zee Anmol and Zindagi. He will
work towards strengthening our presence in
Hindi and other languages movie production
& marketing and the digital business to
catapult the organization's ambitions to the
next level. We will produce content not just
for the Indian audiences but also for
companies and audiences the world over.
While IP rights provide the foundation upon
which innovation is shared and creativity is
encouraged, the digital age provides many
opportunities within the entertainment media
industry to improve efficiency, costs and
viewer experiences. Everything we do is
driven by an unyielding passion for
excellence—and an unfaltering commitment
to develop the best products. We are in talks
with various leading collaborators for the
same and will soon announce new initiatives,"
says Mr Nittin Keni.
Essel Vision's consistency and success are
built on its unwavering dedication to setting
benchmarks and excellence. It has already
made a mark on the map of Television and
Feature Films - both in the Hindi and Marathi
space. With blockbuster films like 'D-Day',
'Gulaal', 'Natrang', 'Kaaksparsh', Essel Vision
has taken its first steps to another high with
its ventures like "Time Pass", "Lai Bhari" and
'Duniyadaari' which have been the highest
grossers in the Marathi film space. Its other
creation 'The Lunchbox' has already received
accolades around the world. In the television
space, the company has been successful with
qualitative programs like 'Fear Files', 'Dance
India Dance' and 'India's Best Dramebaaz',
'Saregama', 'DID L'il Masters', 'DID Super
Moms', on Hindi TV, and 'Eka Peksha Ek' and
'Fu Bai Fu' amongst others on Marathi TV. The
upcoming feature films include 'Mad about
Dance' which is promoted by SRK himself and
another horror film called 3AM is on the
anvil.
Just as ZEE is an innovative leader in
developing new business models for the
evolving television and film landscape, Essel
Vision's objective is to be a one-stop shop for
all Film, Television, Digital, Events & IP
creation related services where it will
produce, co-produce, market and distribute http://m.timesofindia.com/entertainment/hindi/tv/trade-news/ZEEL-appoints-Akash-Chawla-as-Essel-Vision-Productions-Business-Head/articleshow/40262598.cms
