Sajid Nadiadwala has stepped down from his role as the head of the Indian Film & TV Producers Council (IFTPC) after years of service. Ratan Jain, a seasoned figure in Bollywood with over thirty years of experience, has taken over the position. Jain previously led the council from 2010 to 2012. This change occurred during the council’s 34th annual general meeting, where Nadiadwala expressed the importance of new leadership and nominated Jain, who was unanimously approved by the members.
During Nadiadwala’s farewell, he received warm acknowledgments, including a bouquet from NR Pachisia and a memento from Jamnadas Majethia. Members appreciated his contributions, although specific details about his achievements were not shared.
Ratan Jain brings a wealth of experience back to the council, having produced popular films like Khiladi, Baazigar, Dhadkan, Humraaz, and Garam Masala. His return marks a significant moment for the council.
The newly formed board for 2025–26 includes Jamnadas Majethia as chairman for TV and web, alongside directors NR Pachisia, Madhu Mantena, Kumar Mangat Pathak, Rajat Rawail, Shyamashis Bhattacharya, Nitin Vaidya, and Abhimanyu Singh. Ramesh Taurani will serve as an honorary advisor.
With Jain at the helm, the council aims to navigate the changing landscape of the film industry, especially as it adapts to streaming services and shifting audience tastes.
