The 'Rainmaker' of Bollywood PR - Rohini Iyer

March 9, 2015|Pinkvilla



She started young, at the tender age of 16, to channel her energies in doing what she loves- talking cinema. As a young, go getter of a film journalist, Rohini Iyer forged permanent friendships with many a leading Bollywood star of the Nineties.

While some stars faded out, her PR firm- Raindrop Media- gained currency and clout as the reliable shoulder to place their burdens on for many Bollywood stars. Presently Rohini & her team continue to handle the hype around Priyanka Chopra, Sonam Kapoor & Abhishek Bachchan amongst others.

A young achiever who has single handedly led her team through PR of many films & stars over the years, Rohini has made it to power lists of Verve India & India Today Woman recently.

But more than that- what proves her ability to navigate Bollywood's people management challenges & PR demands- is the validation she found from producer/filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali onstage for Mary Kom. Bhansali, an elusive man who is sparse with compliments most times, thanked her for giving direction to this film that went on to make over 65 crores resting on a female star.

Rohini has now diversified into smaller, independent films too under Alter Ego Media and plans to grow further over the years with more big films & stars in her kitty.

India Today, when voting her as one of the 25 power women of the country introduced Rohini as, "Because She runs one of the biggest brand and image management companies for celebrities. Because her client list reads like a who's who, from Salman Khan, Kareena Kapoor, Akshay Kumar, Katrina Kaif, Saif Ali Khan, Nadiadwala Grandsons, Eros International, Venus to Hari Om Productions. Because she handles everything from press meets to film screenings, outdoor shoots, brand endorsements and building thier brand image."

Rohini has also featured in Hindustan Times in their 'Power to Youth' article. The young entrepreneur was listed '24' in the list of powerful achievers. HT introduced her as, "Her company is one of India's largest publicity firms. Most Bollywood A-listers are her clients and she is the publicist for three leading ladies - Katrina Kaif, Kareena Kapoor and Vidya Balan. Her other clients include Ranbir Kapoor, Abhishek Bachchan and John Abraham. Iyer has been featured in the Verve Power List, as well as Femina's list of 25 most powerful women in India, from the field of entertainment."

Vidya left her a few years back (As told by Vidya. She said she doesn't have any publicist anymore.) Now Rohini does publicity for PC, Kangana, Sonam, Abhishek and the other old ones (Katty, Kareena, etc).
