This reminds me, UTV and UTV spotboy used to churn out really good movies with Ronnie Screwvala at the helm and even later on. Many outsiders bagged meaty projects under this banner. I know it got shut and Ronnie also founded RSVP parellelly but I don't exactly know what happened to UTV. May be it is time to ask this question in the forum itself. ๐
What always happens. Foreign studio (Walt Disney) acquires local studio. Local talent head (Ronnie/Sid) leaves. Bollywood screws the studio into signing terrible film deals (Dangal, Tamasha, Jagga) or outright disasters (Fitoor, Mohan Jo Daro). Studio shuts down production house.
Disney immediately shut down Fox Star's Hindi division after the acquisition because of how badly they were burnt by UTV and how badly Dharma had screwed over Fox.
Funny thing, in both cases, the studios were forced to wait a few years to distribute their final film, because Ranbir's films never finish.
