Bollywood stunt hero Akshay Kumar part ways with his
business partner Ashvini Yardi. The
two formed a production house Grazing Goat Pictures in 2011. Ashvini drifted
apart from Akki's production house office in Juhu recently in Bandra and formed
her own banner, Viniyard (a portmanteau of her first and last names)
Productions.
Ashvini met Akshay when the star hosted 'Fear Factor: Khatron Ke Khiladi' on
the channel which she was heading. She quit the channel to set up her own
production house with Akki.
Says a source, "It could be a business decision, but tongues have been wagging since Ashvini is not seen at Akshay's production office anymore. At one time, she was the go-to person at his office. Her decision to shift out and start her own banner comes as a surprise."
Akshay and Ashvini production company produced films like 'OMG: Oh My God!' (2012), 'Fugly' (2014) and 'Singh Is Bliing' (2015) besides the Marathi film '72 Miles - Ek Pravas' (2013) and the Punjabi flick 'Bhaji In Problem' (2013). On the TV front, the ongoing show 'Jamai Raja' is being produced by Grazing Goat.
A source close to her, "Since she has vast experience in the TV industry, she was getting a lot of offers to make TV shows. She decided to float her own banner for small screen productions. When it comes to films, she will still collaborate with Akshay Kumar.
The insider adds: "It is, however, surprising since she and Akshay had decided to collaborate not only for Bollywood, but regional films and TV shows too. The recently launched TV show Janbaaz Sindbad has only Ashvini's name as co-producer along with Sagar Films." Meanwhile, Akshay Kumar is busy with the promotions of his film Airlift', starring Nimrat Kaur.
