Director-Led Slate Strategy Redefines Film Production
1 Feb
Summary
- Filmmakers now co-own intellectual property and shape film slates.
- Bhushan Kumar establishes director-led partnerships for sustained content creation.
- Long-term collaborations hinge on mutual trust and open communication.

Producer Bhushan Kumar and director Anurag Singh are implementing a forward-thinking strategy that extends beyond individual film releases. Their collaboration, initiated with Border 2, focuses on building long-term associations through jointly owned intellectual property and co-production. This model empowers directors to take a more significant role in shaping film slates.
Kumar likens this approach to his established partnerships with Sandeep Reddy Vanga and Anurag Basu, where directors function as producers and stakeholders. This structure fosters creative continuity and guarantees directors a sustained interest in their projects. Kumar highlighted his extensive work with Vanga, including Spirit and Animal Park, as a testament to this successful long-term vision.
