K Sera Sera plans public offer, to raise approx Rs 500-600 million
MUMBAI: K Sera Sera is planning a public offer to raise Rs 500-600 million in the first quarter of 2005-06. This will be to fund the company’s movie and television businesses.
A further $2-3 million will be raised through issue of preference shares, according to a source. The company’s total fund requirement is Rs 700-750 million.
K Sera Sera plans to come out with the public offer by June. “The company is looking at a fresh public offering. The size of the issue will be in the range of Rs 500-600 million,” the source says.
When contacted, K Sera Sera managing director Parag Sanghvi declined to comment. “The board is meeting on Friday to discuss the fund raising programme of the company. We can’t comment on anything till then,” he said.
The board is expected to make an announcement on the public offer, the source said. The issue is likely to be through the book building process. The price band is yet to be decided, he added.
A major chunk of the issue proceeds will be towards movies. Part of the proceeds will also be used for expansion in the television production arena, the source said.
K Sera Sera is primarily into movie production, but has also floated a subsidiary company for its television content venture. Twenty Twenty Television (TTT) is producing Kashish, a daily prime time show which will air from 18 April. The company also expects to have six shows on various channels including a reality programme for Sony this year.

Dhurandhar returns to theatres worldwide on March 13 ahead of Dhurandhar The Revenge release
Jio Studios re-releases blockbuster across 500 screens globally before sequel
MUMBAI: The spy saga of Dhurandhar is gearing up for a big-screen encore before its next chapter arrives.
Ahead of the release of Dhurandhar The Revenge on March 19, Jio Studios and B62 Studios are bringing the original Dhurandhar back to cinemas worldwide in a rare international theatrical re-release.
The global blockbuster is returning across nearly 500 screens, including around 250 in India from March 12 and another 250 overseas beginning March 13.
For fans of the franchise, the move offers a chance to revisit the film that ignited the high-octane spy-action universe just days before the sequel lands in theatres. It also sets up a rare back-to-back big-screen experience, allowing audiences to relive the original before diving straight into the next chapter.
While re-releases of popular films are occasionally seen in India, international re-runs of Hindi films remain uncommon. The scale of the rollout reflects the growing global appetite for the franchise.
In North America alone, Dhurandhar will return to theatres across nearly 185 screens, highlighting the strong anticipation surrounding the upcoming sequel.
The excitement is set to build further with special Wednesday premiere shows of Dhurandhar The Revenge scheduled across the US and Canada on March 18, a day ahead of its global release. Many of these premieres will be hosted on premium large format screens, featuring wall-to-wall displays, immersive sound systems such as Dolby Atmos, enhanced projection and luxury seating.
These formats are typically reserved for major Hollywood event films, and early bookings suggest strong demand with several shows already sold out.
The recently released trailer of Dhurandhar The Revenge has also sparked buzz among exhibitors and trade circles, with expectations running high for the film’s international performance.
Dhurandhar The Revenge is written, directed and produced by Aditya Dhar. The film is produced by Jyoti Deshpande and Lokesh Dhar.
Jio Studios presents a B62 Studios production, an Aditya Dhar film.
The spy-action thriller will release worldwide on March 19, 2026, in five languages including Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada.
The film arrives in theatres globally on the occasion of Gudi Padwa and Ugadi, just ahead of Eid, setting the stage for a festive box office run.
