Shebnem Askin, EVP, creative production and head of Sony Pictures International Productions, said, “We are thrilled to be able to continue to work with Lada in his new journey as a producer. Of course, we will still be working closely with him, on his slate which includes many of the terrific projects he brought into the company, this should keep us closely connected.”

Lada said, “I am grateful to Sony for its belief and support as I chart a new producer path, beginning with the films I set up at studio itself. We are excited about the slate of projects we have at Sony Pictures International Productions, India. My producing role will allow me to chase clutter breaking IPs and produce larger than life theatricals that cut across languages, more actively. India is a treasure trove of stories spread across our culture, our myths, our folklore, and our literature. We must bring them alive on the big screen. I am thrilled at this opportunity and can’t wait to reveal the things in store.”

In his two-decade year long career he has also worked India Today Group, Fox Star Studios, Disney India and Sony Pictures.
