Read exclusive details about what led to the dissolutions of Phantom company which was founded by four partners Vikramaditya Motwane, Anurag Kashyap, Vikas Bahl and Madhu Mantena, in 2011.
After 7 years of glorious partnership, Phantom Films’ four partners Vikramaditya Motwane, Anurag Kashyap, Vikas Bahl and Madhu Mantena have decided to call it quits thereby dissolving the company. The company has succesfully produced several hit films inculding Queen, Lootera, Masaan, Udta Punjab. Thought the four partners have maintained that they will continue to share a cordial relationship, we have learnt that the major differences between them started post the sexual harassment allegations against Bahl.
According to our sources, “The four started having ego issues post that and the last nail in the coffin was when Anurag recently commented that he is not on talking terms with Vikas and that despite being in the same company, they work separately. Post this, they decided to part ways for real.”
Meanwhile, the four partners now intend to exert their creativity independently and have timely collaborations with each other, multiplying partnership avenues four times. They will also continue to work with Reliance At the individual levels. A source said, “All of them individually will continue to work with Reliance partnership in same line. So no change so far as Reliance is concerned. So, Sacred Games, Super 30 will continue the way it is, only individuals names will be seen on the producers list. We did see a glimpse of it in Manmarziyan, there were two names only.”
Former partners Vikramaditya Motwane, Anurag Kashyap and Madhu Mantena shared the news of an healthy end to the glorious journey in a statement.
Speaking about the years of association, Madhu Mantena added," We had a glorious run for seven years and I guess sometimes even marriages end. I personally believe that phantom is the best thing that happened to me in my producing career. I want to thank Anurag, Vikram and Vikas for being great partners, mentors and for holding my hand patiently through my dark times.
Hope to continue to be friends and may be even collaborate on individual films in the future. I know we wish each other the best."
